Jean-Luc Godard (2023)

The protagonist discovers his own bones, rooted in the conviction that existence is in the bones, not the flesh. "I wanted to admire your films as others do, but language acted as a barrier between us," the protagonist inquires, "so can you explain your identity and your film to us?" Left without an answer, they remain silent. (DMZ International Documentary Film Festival)

Review

`121231 Jean-Luc Godard takes the form of asking questions to Jean-Luc Godard, who was an iconoclastic vanguard. The film takes a structure of alternation with Goard’s films and questions by the first-person narrator, shots of coastal sedimentary rocks, cliffs, sea, waves, and plants, and texts and books explaining Godard. The subheading, “Verbal and Non-Verbal Worlds,” summarizes the traces of Godard, who described the irony of trying to escape from the fetter of language but being forced to say it in language in Impossible Film. Jean-Luc Godard displays Goodbye to Language (2014), The Image Book(2018), Film Socialism (2010), Vivre Sa Vie (1962), Sauve Qui Peut (La Vie)(1980), Our Music (2004), and In Praise of Love(2001) in order to ask questions arising from each film. Director Kim Eung-su borrows Godard’s styles of deconstructing and reassembling the existing format and mainly uses transitions of colors and a combination of montage, texts, and images. Jean-Luc Godard is the message of a giant figure who made everything possible in the film to the narrator who imagines the impossible. It is recommended to watch Jean-Luc Godard with Godard’s last film, Trailer of the Film That Will Never Exist: “Phony Wars” , to be screened at this year’s Essay section.
