The Image Book

Do you remember how we used to train our minds a long time ago? Mostly we started from a dream.... We wondered how, in complete darkness, colours of such intensity could arise in us. In a low, soft voice, saying great things, surprising, deep and precise. Image and words. Like a bad dream, written on a stormy night. Under western eyes. The lost paradises. The war is here. With his last film, Jean-Luc Godard continues his late work, which takes every liberty. A rapturous flow of thoughts, an associative collage in five chapters. The longing for freedom. The abysses of humanity. The beauty of cinema. Time and history, stretched and condensed.
