The prolific Godard's newest work, The Image Book, is the apex of his cinema of symbolism and collage. There are no actors. At most, we hear Godard's eloquent and introspective voice, now with 88 years old, narrating the film and reflecting on our time, humanity, society and cinema.

For Godard, cinema is the book of images of the last and today's century; the documentation of the history of modernity and contemporaneity. Through The Image Book, Godard invites us to reflect on history, and it builds a journey in an incessant collage of images and sounds that permeate the history of art in its most different forms. Pasting scenes from films, reports, home videos and even drawings, the filmmaker approaches the functions of time and space, using in particular the case of images about the Arab world and how they are perceived by the western world. It’s the work of a filmmaker who’s looking back at his films and the films of his time -- and looking ahead to radical changes to come in the cinema and in the world at large.
