It’s kinda strange to be extremely excited about a new trailer for a Jean-Luc Godard film, but here we are. The Image Book is the sinuous, playfully inscrutable and wholly original new work from the French icon, and it’s coming to a cinema near you on 2 December before heading onto MUBI the following day, just in time to celebrate the director’s birthday – he’s 88 years young.
The film is yet another example of JLG’s passion for adapting and enhancing the very grammar and syntax of cinema to prove that this is a medium remains very much in its infancy. He draws on horror and poetry, literary sloganeering and heartfelt confession, emotion and confusion, all at the service of a work that needs to be ingested and contemplated.
