Goodbye to Language
- language: French
- director: Jean-Luc Godard
- actor: Alexandre Païta Christian Gregori Héloise Godet Jessica Erickson Kamel Abdeli Richard Chevallier Roxy Miéville Zoé Bruneau
- writer: Jean-Luc Godard
Synopsis:
The idea is simple:
A married woman and a single man meet.
They love, they argue, fists fly.
A dog strays between town and country.
The seasons pass.
The man and woman meet again.
The dog finds itself between them.
The other is in one,
the one is in the other
and they are three.
The former husband shatters everything.
A second film begins:
the same as the first,
and yet not.
From the human race we pass to metaphor.
This ends in barking
and a baby’s cries.
In the meantime, we will have seen
people talking of the demise of the dollar,
of truth in mathematics
and of the death of a robin. [Synopsis courtesy of Cannes Film Festival]
