#Godard inkslinger series#
Similar to his earlier series Histoire(s) du cinéma (and sometimes using some of the exact same film quotes), the film examines the history of cinema and its inability to recognise the atrocities of the 20th and 21st centuries (specifically the Holocaust, ISIS and the Israeli–Palestinian conflict), the responsibilities of the filmmaker and the advances in political discourse with the introduction of consumer-grade digital cameras and iPhones. In line with the rest of Godard's late-period oeuvre, The Image Book is composed of a series of films, paintings and pieces of music tied together with narration and additional original footage by Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville. It was the final film directed by Godard before his death in 2022. The film was positively received by film critics. It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival. Godard told Séance magazine that he was shooting without actors but the film would have a storyteller. Initially titled Tentative de bleu and Image et parole, in December 2016 Wild Bunch co-chief Vincent Maraval stated that Godard had been shooting the film for almost two years "in various Arab countries, including Tunisia" and that it is an examination of the modern Arabic world. The Image Book ( French: Le Livre d'image) is a 2018 Swiss avant-garde essay film directed by Jean-Luc Godard.
