'Goodbye to language' is a most beautiful and synaesthesic experience in cinema. Godard comes back. It's curious that a director 83 aged-old is the Cinema Avat-garde yet. It is like a Schoenberg's piece made in theatre.

It reminds me of the film briefly previewed in the documentary 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' called 'Life Remote Control'. It is a series of dichotomous imagery and non-sequitor narrations that in absolutely no way cohede into something comprehensive on a logical, sensical, or realistic level. There is a goldmine of ambiguity and symbolism here. However, this is so dense, dense as a brick, that I find it will require MULTIPLE viewings to truly mesh into a thematic whole, and then even MORE viewings after that to finally come to a resolute storyline. I do have interest to see it again, but I don't know if it would be a fruitful usage of my time. Definitely a standout work of the art-house output in 2014. You guys want a challenging flick? Check this out. I'm still baffled.… Expand

This is filmmaking of the highest caliber. There are two scenes in particular where Godard superimposes two 3D images and then merges them into one. Astouding, disorienting, confusing, brilliant! The audience applauded. Then there's Godard's use of color, b&w and everything in-between with film and video stock ever changing.

And last but not least there is Roxy Mieville. An astounding dog, giving one of the best animal performances ever. He's just a dog, not a trained movie dog. Actually, he's Godard's dog.

Unfortunately, all this brilliance is in service to the same philosophies and politics Godard has been pursuing since the mid-60s. Sadly, the man cannot move on. There is actually discussion of Mao! Dude, it's 2015. I love you Godard but please make a film that captures our time. We need and deserve it. And use Roxy again. He's pretty great.… Expand

"Goodbye to Language", the new film by legendary french filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard is as incomprehensible as a film can get. It's a challenging film for sure, and that's why it's so great.

I always thought I would see a masterpiece. It wasn't. I mean it's good but a masterpiece? No.
