Film Socialisme (Jean-Luc Godard, 2010)

5/10
I really liked the first act of this latest mindbender from Jean-Luc Godard - it takes place on a cruise ship, there's all kinds of voiceovers and shots that don't seem to relate to one another, and you get the feeling like you're watching parts of three different movies at once. It's kaleidoscopic but also very interesting. After that however I thought the film dropped off steeply - once we were getting to distended, uninteresting monologues and static shots where nothing seemed to ever come together, I wasn't feeling it.
