Jean‐Luc Godard

Abstract

Jean-Luc Godard's latest film, Film: socialisme, is a search for images of the real parting from the poetic imaginary and memory. In the first section, “Movement” Godard includes an assemblage of images, histories, memories, and sensible regimes from the Mediterranean Sea passing through three countries and three cities that have been fundamental for the filmmaker: Egypt, Palestine, Odessa, Greece, Naples, and Barcelona. The second part of the movie, “Quo Vadis Europa” focuses on the Martin family, who manage a gas station in the East of France. The last section of the film, “Nos humanités” (Our Humanities) is a film essay and collage revisiting the sites that the cruise ship passed through in the first part of the movie. The movie posits a geopolitical, economic, and sensible history of the twentieth century that has as its center: revolt, gold, democracy, and tragedy, bracketed by both “Film” and “Socialism.”.
