The latest oddity from filmmaking legend Jean-Luc Godard, which became the first film ever to be awarded Cannes's Spéciale Palme d'Or.
What’s the film about? Hard to say. Even critics who've seen the film can’t tell you. Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian admits: "It is bewildering. I’m not sure I understood more than a fraction and of course it can be dismissed as obscurantism and mannerism. But I found The Image Book rich, disturbing and strange."

The Times
The Times"It has moments of unlikely beauty."

Independent
Independent"As with his previous idiosyncratic, often inscrutable late works, this will be seen only by a highly select audience of dedicated Godardians, and genuinely liked by just a fraction of those; one can essentially name them."
