Nice to see a clip from Antonioni's Michaelangelo Eye To Eye in there; quite fitting.

Re: Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard et al., 2008)
Not sure how this would be playing backward. Unless Godard took every scene, playing forward, and then sequenced them all for the sake of the trailer in reverse position?Oedipax wrote:Yep, upon further review it does appear to be backwards. If you download the video from youtube (using whatever means necessary! ) you can step through a frame at a time and have a look at the end credits and glean some additional info on the music used, the cameras, the film clips (including Weekend!), and so on.
In any case, it looks like the citations appear at the beginning, and it ends with a faux-"FBI Warning" ["Quand la loi n'est pas juste la justice passe avant la loi" / "When the law isn't just, justice passes by before the law" + "No Comment"] (after a coda sequence). There are other Godard films (DÉTECTIVE comes to mind) where the citations are given at the opening. And no-one is walking 'backwards'. Bodies and motions and events are all moving forward; no-one moves backwards.
Other works cited besides LO SGUARDO DI MICHELANGELO include both LES PLAGES D'AGNÈS and LES MILLES ET UNE NUITS [DE SIMON CINÉMA].

Oh dear. I think Notre Musique is one of the most beautiful things I ever experienced. But that's for another thread.kaujot wrote:I agree with Domino on this one, but then I've not liked any of Godard's work from 1990 and on. Notre Musique, ouch.

Socialisme will be available on May 17th-18th on this VOD site http://www.filmotv.fr/rub/98/evenement.html. I guess not available outside of France though

Stay tuned, rumor has it the film will be available for streaming online for a few weeks/months after the Cannes screening. If true then I imagine the filmotv.fr site is just one avenue for seeing it.
I somewhat doubt English subs will accompany said stream in any event, though

Just checked back in on this thread... Might do for a minor maintenance request: the title of the film is officially 'Film Socialisme', and it's not by multiple directors — only JLG. Conflated names/duties on the title-cards of his films have been a recurring Godard staple since the early '60s.

Thanks. I have such a good feeling about this film. And I can't wait to find out whodunnit.
Seriously though, the 2hr interview must be translated to English somewhere, right? (Cantinflas?)
Godard looks good and healthy at 80.

Re: Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard, 2010)
Seems JLG is selling off most of his SONIMAGE studio & gear, from a post on the Godard list serv today:
The Telerama interview appears to be audio only, or I just couldn't find my way around the site properly.A "sad" news in the Telerama's one : JLG is "throwing away" (selling ?) everything in Rolle : he's stopping SONIMAGE ! He's closing his famous "studio" in rolle with the famous shelves full of VHS and Dvds, and books. He's explaining (to Cohn Bendit) that he does not want to let some heritage...
I had the same thought. He looked a bit grizzled in that Rohmer tribute, but I think it was just the webcam lighting.Noiretirc wrote:Godard looks good and healthy at 80.

Re: Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard, 2010)
To be clear, there are 2 interviews, right? ie The pressbook one (staged!), and the 10-parter from his home, Apr 27th. I'd kill for English subs on the latter.

There's the Cannes pressbook one, the 10 part video and also this one with Cohn-Bendit.Noiretirc wrote:To be clear, there are 2 interviews, right? ie The pressbook one (staged!), and the 10-parter from his home, Apr 27th. I'd kill for English subs on the latter.
evillights has said on his blog that he is in the process of translating the Cohn-Bendit plus there may be more to come in terms of an English translation for the 10 part video interview.

Re: Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard, 2010)
From The Independent:
The legendary French film director Jean-Luc Godard, whose latest work, Film Socialisme, is showing at Cannes this week, has decided to run its subtitles in "Navajo English" as in old Westerns where the Native Americans spoke in choppy phrases. Because the drama takes place on a cruise ship where no one speaks the same language, Godard has fashioned his subtitles concisely to say the least. If a character is saying "give me your watch", the subtitle will read "You, me, watch."

That is The Most Godardian Move Evar! At 80 he is obviously still as sharp as a razor, still infuriating, hahahaha....

«Suite à des problèmes de type grec, je ne pourrai être votre obligé à Cannes. Avec le festival, j’irai jusqu’à la mort, mais je ne ferai pas un pas de plus. Amicalement. Jean-Luc Godard.»
Le tout accompagné d’un portrait du réalisateur japonais Ozu. Rideau.

It's the allusion to Bergamin's statement cited by Godard more than once in his films. In the original text there is "communism" instead of "festival".accatone wrote:Avec le festival, j’irai jusqu’à la mort, mais je ne ferai pas un pas de plus.
Has anybody seen the film at filmotv.fr already?
