For all my initial bafflement, The Image Book continued to haunt me. Maybe that's all Godard wanted.
Disjointed and direct, exhilarating and soporific, cerebral and squirrelly: The Image Book is lots of contradictory things at once.
What's the rubric, one has to wonder, for evaluating a movie like this? Perhaps it's better to submit to its form than agonize over its content.
As you watch "The Image Book," it conjures a totemic darkness that can't be shaken off.
As with his previous idiosyncratic, often inscrutable late works, this will be seen only by a highly select audience of dedicated Godardians, and genuinely liked by just a fraction of those; one can essentially name them.
In the process of pulling movies apart, The Image Book forms a closing chapter in a work that Godard began with Breathless in 1960.
