Ah Cannes, so long ago now and yet a gaggle of Godardians were most distrait following my review of Jean Luc's latest addition to his oeuvre, the unmitigated disaster that is Film Socialisme, but with due respect for your views, allow me to explain myself.

    I know that this is totally unrelated to the video above but there is no section on here for miscellanious questions. Anyway i know how much a fan of The Devils you are and so am i, to my endless frustration and constant contacting Warner Bros nothing ever seems to be happening with a release for this classic. Will this be unavailable forever, cmon Warner's its neraly 40 years since this was originally released! Mark what can we do about this, its just unaceptable for this to continue, help please?

    Hahaha! :D I now imagine Jean-Luc Godard actually running the USS ENTERPRISE. In black and white. "Beam me up, Belmondo!"

    ...Best gag ever. Although it makes me slightly worried that I actually got it.

    As a fan of early Godard I am disappointed to hear that his rectal circle (in development for well over a decade) is now complete and all future work will be distributed from the studio up his anus. I hope this doesn't get a UK distribution quite frankly, my fond memories of Alphaville and Une Femme Est Une Femme might be forever tarnished. I don't care who you are, not putting subtitles on a foreign work is an act of staggering self-importance. It's like the New Wave never happened. Godard, if you have nothing interesting to say, say nothing at all. Fin.

    I know it's sarcasm but DON'T APOLOGISE! Stand your ground. If you believe it's a piece of trash then by all means stamp it into the ground and don't let these sniveling apologists tell you what to think.

    English is the Language of america and thus the language of imperialism? That's like saying Latin is the language of Catholisism and thus the language of abuse. Completely ridiculous.

    In My opinion, your arguments against Film socialisme and for subtitles was far more reasoned than your detractors. Reason usually trumps stupidity in the end.
