Our take

The first Jean-Luc Godard project to be released after his death is a gift to all cinephiles. Created in collaboration with film theorist Nicole Brenez, this collage of paintings, pictures, written notes, and JLG’s unmistakable narration shows the master at work, his ingenuity as inspiring as ever.
