Goodbye to Language (2014) – Movie Trailer

Director: Jean-Luc Godard
Stars: Héloïse Godey, Kamel Abdelli, Richard Chevallier, Zoé Bruneau

Jean-Luc Godard is a legend in French New Wave film, and his latest effort is another success for the filmmaker. Goodbye to Language, which Godard calls a “3D essay,” premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival and win Best Picture at the 2014 National Society of Film Critics Awards. It’s an experimental film in two parts, each telling a similar story but in a different way. It’s difficult to explain the plot, but basically it follows a married woman who has an affair, and her husband, who finds out and kills her lover. There’s also a dog. (He’s actually really important to the movie.) As the title suggests, the film communicates more than language has the capacity to, so if you want to really understand it, it’s best if you just watch the film.
