Picture makes it look like Godard secretly killed cinema and is gloating.

Scorsese has a piece up on Godard:

Just watched ÉLOGE DE L'AMOUR (2001), only 19 years after Jerry the Nipper referred to it at the start of the thread.
I couldn't make much sense of it. Broadly confirms the sense that while early Godard is dazzling, late Godard is rambling.

Of the Godard I've seen from the last couple decades (which is not comprehensive), that one is definitely the weakest.

He made five films from 2000. Image Book > Goodbye to Language (will we ever see it in 3D again) >>>> In Praise of Love and Our Music.
Haven't seen Film Socialisme.
Those top two films would comfortably be in a top ten for Godard.

Lots of shorts and skits and stuff outside those five features tho

(I do need to circle back and see Film Socialisme imo)

It's dire.

I have really never engaged with Godard's short film output at all..

Richard Brody of The New Yorker declared In Praise of Love the greatest film of the 2000s, stating that it is "one of the most unusual, tremulous, and understated of love stories, as well as the story of love itself; ... Godard’s third first film, thus something of a rebirth of cinema."
Unusually preposterous.

Yeah, everyone knows that's Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle

He made five films from 2000
I've seen them, at least two of them twice, but they're vaguer in memory than the superficially similar 80s and 90s movies and I need to see them again.The first Godard I've rewatched since his death was Made in USA, not especially beloved by most, but I was surprised just how much plot (though heavily obscured) and how many speaking parts the film contains. Was it his last nod at a "genre" film (unless Detective counts)?

Imagine being in a film, not understanding any of it then watching it months later and it never making sense.
