official description

Hotly anticipated and debated since its first screening in Cannes, Jean-Luc Godard's "symphony in three movements" is a rich and densely layered cinematic treatise on language—film language, music, literature, the text of history—and a melancholic love letter to a Europe in tragic decline. Combining the humour and tenderness of his Nouvelle Vague films with political urgency and cutting insight, Godard idiosyncratically addresses a host of pressing contemporary issues—global politics, rampant technological and aesthetic change, environmental and ecological catastrophe, cultural amnesia, our culture of vulgarity and mass consumption, fractured communication, and the inevitability of aging—with classical lyricism and essayistic grandeur. Playfully cryptic (with its already notorious "Navajo English" subtitles), uncompromising and visually breathtaking as Godard experiments with the tools offered by the new digital age, Film Socialisme is a must-see work by one of the greatest artists of our time.

Exclusive Engagement begins Thursday, December 30.
