08/25/2021 Complexo, muito complexo, diferente, muito diferente, muitas imagens, pouco sons, muito a dizer com poucas palavras, recorte de filmes, reportagens, animações, guerra, dor, sofrimento, às vezes desconexo, mas sempre muito intenso… Primeira obra de Jean-Luc Godard que assisto, e comecei logo pelo mais subjetivo, profundo e estranho… "O mundo não se interessa por árabes e muçulmanos, enquanto o Islã detém atenção política." É sobre. Isso, sobre a generalização, sobre Islamofobia, generalização, xenofobia, querer calar uma nação… O diretor sugeriu que nem todas as cenas fossem traduzidas, para que a imagem e sonoridade falassem por si só… Estupendo… See more 03/23/2020 Extremely cinephilic metamodern picture consisting of endless citing of feature and documentary films, which form the own statement of Godard. Not easy to watch, since Godard intentionally defies all the cinema laws, confusing and mixing pictures with sounds and music from different sources, and saturating the image to the extreme levels. Though it is still mesmerising to observe. See more 03/06/2020 This movies is not for birds, and it is for humans, and so I like it, make Breathless 2. So, this movie is good for me but not for birds. Make Pierrot LE Fou 2 please 10/ I don't know (10??) See more 01/03/2020 Somewhat uneven, but all in all a fun and smart update of a familiar story, "The Depraved" turned out better than what I was initially expecting. See more 04/25/2019 Not abysmal, albeit a well coiffed and stylish pontification of modern clergistic remedies. See more 03/28/2019 New Wave film legend Jean-Luc Godard. Godard's personal views on the state of affairs in the world and his more targeted political commentary is characterized by some film critics as coherent, but there is a distinct disconnect in the imagery and dialogue in the first 75 minutes of the film. While some of Godardï¿ 1/2(TM)s color saturated images are stunning and well worth the wait, one must have embraced his last film, Goodbye to Language, to fully accept the artistic construct of his new film. At its best, The Image Book is a continuous rollout of images that Godardï¿ 1/2(TM)s cinematographer has cleverly manipulated in terms of speed, lightening, darkening and tilting, which have the power to evoke different emotions from each viewer. The film, alternatively, can be viewed as incongruous images tenuously thread together with Godardï¿ 1/2(TM)s opinions of worldly dread, especially as it relates to the European social/political environment, and that of the world generally See more Read all reviews
