"We should start with a correspondence, maybe we will not correspond to one another. Ebrahim can send me a letter this Friday, and I'll answer him next Friday. So, see you Friday, Robinson!" And so, Jean-Luc Godard stages himself in his daily thought, wisely desperate, and sends images and words from Switzerland to the other side of the Channel. In his mansion in Sussex, Ebrahim Golestan tries to decode these UFO-messages and skillfully seeks to bring them back to the appearance of reason. And so on, until the day a veil falls over the two Gods on the run. Does the existence of poets still have any meaning in these times of distress?

Farahani, makes the documentary adopting -- as a tribute? -- Godard's characteristic style. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

We get a last glimpse, intimate yet goofy, of the late Jean-Luc Godard, the Swiss filmmaker not exactly infirm but visibly weary. Go to Full Review

Fortunately, Farahani doesn't amplify the melancholic, nostalgic, celebratory tribute or farewell tone that this disconcerting and ultimately fascinating film could've had. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
