Socialism

Summary

The film Socialism, first shown in 2010 at Cannes, like most of Godard's previous films, brings an assemblage of vignettes, allusions and discussions. It is a three-part invention in which music, sounds and images are arranged in a loose pattern that is alternately provocative, beautiful and exhausting while discussing the author's artistic and political preoccupations. The unique Godard montage of image, sound and text is at the same time pervasive and elusive, polemical and mysterious. Together with Godard, we wander around the Mediterranean, and while wandering we encounter everything possible and impossible - from Homer and Plato, through World War II to the Internet and Patti Smith; as if it were Godard's intimate dedication to his magnificent Contempt. And just as Odysseus' mythical character represents a historical turning point, so does Godard in Socialism sketch out a possible different future.

It consists of three so-called movements - a symphony in three movements:

The first, called Des choses comme ça ("Such Things") is set on a cruise ship, displaying multilingual conversations among diverse travelers. The characters include, among others, an elderly war criminal, a former United Nations official and a Russian detective. American singer-songwriter and artist Patti Smith appears in a short cameo appearance. Another movement, Notre Europe ("Our Europe"), is set up at a gas station and involves a child couple; the little girl and her younger brother, who urge their parents to appear before the "court of their childhood", demanding serious answers on the subject of freedom, equality and fraternity. The final shift, Nos humanités ("Our Humanity"), tours six legendary territories of real or false myths: Egypt, Palestine, Odessa, Greece, Naples and Barcelona.
