About This Movie

So, here we have 'No Comment,' an episode from the 'Cinéma, de notre temps' series, which dives into Godard’s 'Film Socialisme.' It’s a unique exploration, not just of the film itself, but of the broader ideas surrounding cinematic language and politics. The pacing is contemplative, almost meandering at times, which really fits the thematic undertones of dissection and discourse. Labarthe's approach brings a certain intimacy to the conversation, allowing viewers to ponder rather than just consume. You’ll find he doesn’t hold back on the complexities of Godard's work, making this a piece that resonates with those who appreciate deep dives into film theory and critique. Quite a distinctive entry in the realm of film commentary, for sure.

This episode has become something of a rarity, often overshadowed by Godard's more mainstream works. It originally aired in 2011 and has seen limited availability on home media; most collectors likely have to settle for digital formats. Its unique examination of Godard’s style and ideology keeps it in the spotlight among avid fans and collectors of film critique, heightening interest in securing a copy when available.
