Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: B Mar 10, 2013 Full Review Kelly Vance East Bay Express 1972 short feature remains one of the era's most provocative political pieces. Aug 16, 2011 Full Review Jeremy Heilman MovieMartyr.com Letter to Jane, despite its rigor, is strangely more watchable than most of Godard's post-1968 output. Rated: 65/100 Feb 25, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The best film ever put to celluloid. Not a single frame wasted. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Your enjoyment quotient will depend on how much you agree with Godard & Gorin in the first place. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's also Obama's (New Deal) expression--a pose of (empty) thoughtfulness ("I [pretend to] feel your pain"). Find/make contradictory not eternal truth! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Reflexion passionnante sur l'engagement a partir d'une photographie de Jane Fonda au Vietnam parue dans la presse. L'une des plus nettes reussites de la collaboration Godard-Gorin. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member In what was the last collaboration between Godard and Gorin, we see probably one of the purest stabs at political cinema around. It's simplistic, radical, and almost hard to bear at times. The thought provoking dialogue and minimal use of images, including the key image of Jane Fonda, makes this nothing short of a thought provoking piece of artwork. Whether in disagreement or agreement, this is definitely a very important piece of cinema to analyze. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
