Futurism
Today's film represent Godard's view of the future.
And like a lot of Godard it is pretty bleak.
He has wisely made it not dramatically different, physically, from the present. Well, the 1965 present. We are half way to the time he depicts. 2040 something.
People are not all that dissimilar from now either. It gives him a chance to make some social comment.
I liked it but not a lot. It is a 3 out of Netflix5. I was disappointed in some aspects of it as it seemed unimaginative. Solid but not pizzazz.
Of course that is just what Godard expected from the future. Since I am living in it I obviously do not find it as dull as he seemed to expect.
His images are up to his impeccable standards. A great film to watch! See!
When seeing bleak, we have to remember that this is also French to the core. Bleak.
