French Film Festival on Tour: The Image Book

Director
Jean-Luc Godard
Certificate
15
Running Time
85 mins

87-year-old veteran Jean-Luc Godard‘s state of the world cinematic collage was unveiled at Cannes to much head-scratching and plenty of praise.

Compiled from a variety of sources (classic Hollywood clips, paintings, news footage, YouTube propaganda, etc) it has a timely message about the intervention of the west in the Arab world, though The Independent acknowledged that: “Some will find The Image Book incomprehensible and pretentious. It’s a conceptual work that could easily be seen in a gallery rather than a conventional cinema. Some of the political posturing here feels very old fashioned.” It’s on screen to launch the French Film Festival on Tour.
