      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Godard continues to explore new modes of expression in Film Socialisme, an avant garde essay on societal decay that will resonate strongest among the already converted.

      Amy Taubin Film Comment Magazine 'No comment' is a shifter, referring back not only to this enigmatic, painful, off-putting, ravishing Film Socialisme-but to all the Godard films that preceded it. Jul 12, 2013 Full Review Mark Olsen Los Angeles Times With its rich, layered storytelling, "Film Socialisme" is, in its broadest sense, about nothing less than the history, present and future of Western civilization, up to and including Internet videos of cats. Rated: 4/5 Jan 19, 2012 Full Review David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle This isn't exactly a popcorn movie. I'm not sure it's even a movie, as much as an edgy art installation. Rated: 2/4 Sep 1, 2011 Full Review Dustin Chang Floating World Here Godard sees a giant cruise ship as a metaphor for Europe- decadent, crass, greedy people enjoying luxury largely serviced by non-European workers, sailing an uncharted territory surrounded by ominous, choppy water. Mar 21, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row It's dissonant, all right, maddening and obtuse all once - but all Godard has succeeded in doing here is burying his head firmly up his own ass. Rated: 0/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review David Phelps MUBI As Godard shows again and again himself, History, like Hollywood, will churn out the same stories again and again when revenge cycle of "chosen peoples" go unvanquished.

      Audience Member I liked just cuz I can't believe someone was allowed to make it lol. Shoutout my man Godard. Can't spell Godard without a G Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the worst movie I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The competition is huge, but maybe the worst of Godard's last 40 year Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Has Godard ever been so self-absorbed with his own work before? I don't believe so. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a joke but a painful one. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is a distinct emphasis on experimental, "Socialisme" is suited solely for cinema students -- really. Mostly in French, with few and quirky subtitles, often out of focus, and overall plot-free, "Socialisme" is an effort to explore how alterations to the audio and picture affect t...read morehe meaning of a cinematic work. Answer: Lots. What does a viewer take away from screening this project? What you already knew about the effects of audio and picture on a cinematic work. You will see some memorable moments that will be of use in crafting your own projects, or when screening other works (Mr Godard, after all, is the Director), but unless you are a groupie (like Film Grrrl) you will find "Socialisme" unapproachable.
