Film Socialisme

Director/co-writer Jean-Luc Godard continues to baffle and mesmerize with this unusual drama, broken into three parts, in which he ruminates the status of the European Union. Passengers aboard a cruise conduct conversations in different languages (with help given from subtitles); children call their parents to account; visits are made to Egypt, Naples, and Barcelona; and more, in the spellbinding Godard style. Jean-Marc Stehlé, Agatha Couture star; rocker Patti Smith appears. 101 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
