Anticipation, or Love in the Year 2000

About This Movie

So, 'Anticipation, or Love in the Year 2000' is really something unique. It's part of that omnibus film, 'The Oldest Profession', with Godard's quirky touch. You get this blend of comedy and drama that's pretty reflective of the 60s vibe, but also has this forward-looking tone. The pacing is a bit erratic, which can feel like the film's own way of capturing the chaotic nature of love and relationships. The performances, while not what you'd call mainstream, have this raw honesty, capturing a kind of awkwardness that feels very genuine. It’s not about heavy effects or grand visuals; it’s more about the interactions and the witty dialogue. Definitely a curiosity in Godard's filmography.

'Anticipation, or Love in the Year 2000' is a fascinating piece within the realm of international cinema, especially for those who appreciate Godard's work. It's not the easiest film to find on physical media, often overshadowed by better-known titles in the omnibus format, which adds to its allure for collectors. There are a few editions out there, but they tend to be rare, making it a nice little treasure for anyone interested in niche 60s films or Godard's lesser-discussed contributions.
