  • Damn those seagulls!

  • Of Godard's post-60s work, this is the best I've seen. It's a tantalizing meditation on art, memory and commerce, as well as an exploration of LEAR's themes of filial duty, pride and loyalty. The Burgess Meredith/Molly Ringwald LEAR readings aren't bad Shakespeare. Perhaps the film is a bit too long, and Woody Allen's sudden appearance is out of key with the rest of the material, but the movie is consistently fascinating and also very beautiful.

  • molly ringwald! :D 

  • @ActionRadar886 So? Can't you formulate your own opinions?

  • @ActionRadar886 His capacity for making cinema itself the subject matter of his movies.

  • @goback3spaces

    None of those filmmakers you mentioned are in the same league as Bergman or Kurosawa. They've certainly made brilliant films, but there is still no comparison. But please, tell me what makes Godard such a genius.

  • But what about the many filmmakers who considered his work to be brilliant? Truffaut, Olmi, Antonioni, Renoir, DiSica, Bresson, Scorsese ... the list goes on and on.

  • Godard is the most pretentious filmmaker in history; all of the great filmmakers (Bergman, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky) considered his films to be shit.

  • This has to be the most headache-inducing movie I have ever seen.

  • Was this the first Shakespearian play to get a modern update on the screen?
