Hiçbir kalıba sığmayan, dünyanın en yaratıcı ve yenilikçi yönetmenlerinden Godard’ın bu son filmi yine kışkırtıcı, yine zorlayıcı, elbette politik ve zihin açıcı. Godard’ın kendi sesiyle "Savaş geldi" diyerek başlattığı, bazılarına göre "gözlere ve kulaklara hitap eden bir şiir", bazılarına göre ise "bir korku filmi kadar güncel ve dehşet verici" olan İmgeler ve Sözcükler, bilge aktivist Godard’ın gözünden dünyanın hâlini anlatıyor. Farklı formatların, görüntü kaynaklarının, ses parçalarının kolajlandığı İmgeler ve Sözcükler, sinemada artık hiçbir şeye özgün denilemeyeceğini iddia eden bir zihin egzersizi, oryantalizmden sinema ahlakına kadar birçok konuya değinen görsel bir bombardıman, yine heyecan verici bir başyapıt.

French star and icon, actress with an impressive discography, idol of several generations. Danielle Darrieux left us in 2017, at the age of 100.

Danielle Darrieux: Il est poli d'être gai!

Paris, 1940. German occupation forces create a new film production company, Continental, and put Alfred Greven – producer, cinephile, and opportunistic businessman – in charge. During the occupation, under Joseph Goebbels’s orders, Greven hires the best artists and technicians of French cinema to produce successful, highly entertaining films, which are also strategically devoid of propaganda. Simultaneously, he takes advantage of the confiscation of Jewish property to purchase film theaters, studios and laboratories, in order to control the whole production line. His goal: to create a European Hollywood. Among the thirty feature films thus produced under the auspices of Continental, several are, to this day, considered classics of French cinema.
