Product Description

Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, Goodbye to Language is a triumphant masterpiece from Jean-Luc Godard. Using 3D technology to mind-bending effect, the film follows a couple whose relationship breaks down along with the images, which in it's second half takes a dog's-eye view of the world. It is a meditation on history and illusion that creates 3D effects more spectacular than any Hollywood blockbuster, figures merging and weaving across the screen along with the film's ideas about romantic love and being-in-the-world. It has the feeling of a final statement, but knowing Godard's penchant for re-invention, hopefully it is yet another beginning to an extraordinary career.

Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2015

Well hello there, Mr. Jean-Luc Godard. Where've you been the past few decades? I've missed you and your style, old friend. I'm glad you decided to embrace some of modern technology for your latest artistic endeavor. It was quite a ride, short but sweet, as they say.

Indeed, Godard's "Goodbye to Language 3D" is a visual and aural masterpiece that brings him back to his roots. The King of Avant Garde has returned, and with him he has brought a colorful and fiery rage upon the world of cinema.

Godard masterfully uses modern 3D technology to tell his romantic story, and does it in the most unique way I've ever seen. Some of the scenes have parts where one character will move off-camera, but the camera still follows that character while staying focused on another character in another part of the shot. I realized that this was an extremely clever use of the 3D glasses, in that one image is projected in one eye, and a completely different one is projected in the other, giving the viewer a beautiful blended double view of what's happening, rather than going "old school" and making all these scenes split-screen. It really was a clever and gorgeous technique that I particularly appreciated.

Naturally, Godard prefers to use imagery and sounds in his film to tell the story, rather than heavy dialogue that hands the plot to the audience on a silver platter. The plot is rather simplistic, but when Godard executes this story in his own style, it becomes one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life.

The film is extremely short at 69 minutes with credits, but that doesn't mean it's not worth your time in the least. I really couldn't see the story taking much longer to unfold, and the imagery and scenes scattered throughout the film will entrance you to the point where you won't care about the length, you'll just want to experience it all over again. Welcome back, Mr. Godard. I hope you're here to stay- I've missed you for so long.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic piece, assuming you've got the gear.
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2016

As a 3D TV owner who doesn't want to own boring movies, I don't have a whole lot of 3D blu-rays in my collection. Gravity and Fury Road (two movies which use the effect to impress a feeling of vastness and infinity on the stage where all the events of the film transpire) are both present and accounted for, of course; so are all the big-budget studio extravaganzas like the Lego movie and (a select few of) the Marvel movies.

And then this movie.

This movie approaches the 3D technology of ensuring that different eyes receive different images in a whole new way, to create depth in places where most movies (to borrow a phrase from Dr. Billy Packer) don't even have places, and most intriguingly to layer images of contrasting action to show twice as much stuff going on at once. It does plenty of cool fly-at-your-face 3D too, but that's not the reason you'll be bringing this out to show off your system to people - it's to see all the other stuff it does. I found the moments of technique to be far more interesting and sustaining than the plot, but the whole package was such a unique unit of entertainment that I was fully kept aloft and engaged over the full running time.

If you've got the hardware, this is a must-buy even if you find it somewhat counfounding. You just gotta muscle through and wait for the cool stuff to happen; buy this movie with the same drive that a SACD collector owes it to themselves to seek out those Talk Talk reissues.

5.0 out of 5 stars An acid trip on genius steroids
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2018

The 3D version was an acid trip on steroids: with spectacular colors, images, settings, depth, interposed subjects, and mixtures of reality. But it wasn't just random neuronal misfiring, rather a fascinating detailed and rich shower of images and topics. It's rather overwhelming and wonderful. This is a true work of art, so good it would make the best painters wonder if they should just quit because they could never be as good as the many brilliant scenes depicted in this film. For the weak of heart or stomach, a spirit guide is provided in the form of an adorable dog who loves to push his snout out of the film into your face. The water scenes, giant tour boats, and plant scenes are particularly stunning. And it's not just random profound insights, but is melded around ongoing human relationships in an amusing yet serious way. So, to summarize, it's an acid trip scrambling a genius, artistic brain in stunningly 3D-depth patterns. Highly recommended for everyone of an artistic or philosophical bent.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible 3D film.
Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2015

The 3D is amazing. Best I've seen and I love 3D. Many images pop out of the tv. There's also stunning clarity and depth. There's a street scene where it looks like the road is coming out of the TV. The car windshield as shown from inside the car appears to contour the TV screen, making you feel like you're inside the car. A film for 3D lovers to be in awe over.

4.0 out of 5 stars Its good ... I think
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2016

If you're REALLY into 3D and/or REALLY into all things "artsy", you'll enjoy this. Several times while watching this I wondered if Godard really understood 3D in general. Its like he found a new toy called 3D and just played with it. But through his "experiments" he did discover some interesting elements and processes. Example: taking one eye's image and panning to some element/interaction way to the side, leaving the other eye on the orig scene. Though un-nerving, it is an effective way of showing two realities simultaneously. You'll either watch a little of the film and go "yuch!" or you'll go back and re-watch several times. You'll like it ... or you'll hate it. I'm pretty sure I'm in the "like it" camp ... pretty sure.

It's best not to watch this sober, because it really is a great movie if you're able to just enjoy the scenes. Don't question them. The whole movie is a beautifully surreal depiction of life.
