Potentially insurmountable for viewers not attuned to the director's wavelength, The Image Book is typically confounding - and ultimately rewarding - late-period Godard.

Another infuriatingly incomprehensible Godard movie made up entirely out of archival images... Having said that, some of the imagery is powerful. Sep 17, 2019 | Full Review…

A rumination on art, politics, history, and mankind's eternal folly disguised as a cinematic collage. It's plotless but it has shape; random but with purpose. Feb 28, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

"The Image Book" is an 85-minute cinematic brainstorm, a swirling, dazzling, maddening frenzy of disconnected sights and sounds that have been compiled and arranged according to a rhythmic and rhetorical logic that only its maker can fully divine. Feb 13, 2019 | Full Review…

"The Image Book" lives and breathes cinema; the cutting and sound games (up and down and all around) remain arresting and instinctive and inspired. Feb 7, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

Concerned neither with telling stories nor even making rational sense, Godard aims straight for lyrical beauty, and he almost always hits his target. Feb 7, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

The film has the intimacy of a personal postcard sharing memories of deceased friends, favourite films and political touchstones. Jan 25, 2019 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

In The Image Book, Godard puts the visual appeal before the text or sound in an experimental way. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 22, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

The Image Book is an intellectual "game," a broken puzzle, a confusing labyrinth made up of over 100 years of movement... which doesn't search for any type of linearity or equilibrium... but has a fun charm to it. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 19, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It is an ambitious work that can not be bounced, which in its challenges and ambiguities constitutes an accurate portrait of who we are. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Is this about the power of arrangement? Or is it a meditation on the movement in moving pictures? It's hard to say. What's easy to say-and see- is the way it jumps from scene to scene with cumulative grace. Jul 17, 2019 | Full Review…

Even at eighty-seven years of age, Jean-Luc Godard remains one of cinema's most ferocious, most transgressive voices, forcing us to look past the cinematic world we've grown comfortable with - a world he helped create in the first place. Jul 17, 2019 | Full Review…
