"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?

Kathleen Sachs Chicago Reader The documentary footage of the filmmakers is both edifying and endearing... Feb 11, 2023 Full Review Nicolas Rapold New York Times Like a drink with an old friend who never stopped thinking onscreen. Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Carlos Bonfil La Jornada Farahani, makes the documentary adopting -- as a tribute? -- Godard's characteristic style. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 10, 2023 Full Review Ray Pride Newcity We get a last glimpse, intimate yet goofy, of the late Jean-Luc Godard, the Swiss filmmaker not exactly infirm but visibly weary. Rated: 9/10 Feb 17, 2023 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Fortunately, Farahani doesn't amplify the melancholic, nostalgic, celebratory tribute or farewell tone that this disconcerting and ultimately fascinating film could've had.
