"oh my god[ard]!!!"























I'm quoting one of the comments left on a trailer (YouTube) for Jean-Luc Godard's Film Socialisme (2011). Apparently, the 4-minute trailer, known as trailer 2, looks like the entire movie but in fast forward. He's 80 years old now, he can get away with such things; actually: he's JLG, he could always get away with such things.  

Here's some recent articles on JLG, from gaurdian.co.uk and indieWIRE. The various trailers for Film Socialisme can be seen here. Trailer 3, which runs 2 minutes and 10 seconds and has music, is embedded for your viewing pleasure/displeasure.



Let's go with an impromptu Top Five:
  1. 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her  (1967)
  2. Vivre Sa Vie  (1962)
  3. Breathless  (1960)
  4. Contempt  (1963)
  5. A Woman Is a Woman  (1961)
Honorable Mention: Bande à part (1964)
It has some of the best scenes and moments in all of his movies. Like this one:
