8/10
A subtle, beautiful film
26 August 2003
Jean-Luc Godard is amazing, still. The ways in which he breaks the accepted norms of cinema are brilliant. With 'In Praise of Love' Godard combines a quietly satirical screenplay, a score reminiscent or Kieslowski's 'Blue', and beautiful cinematography to paint his vision across the screen. I'm not going to begin to try and dissect the dialogue, as there's so much happening visually and aurally in one shot of this movie, that in only one viewing I simply could not grasp it all. This man deserves so much more credit and respect than he gets. He is still revolutionary, and boundary-pushing, and films like this show why. Rating: 34/40
