Review of Our Music

Our Music (2004)
2/10
Musique pour Godard
22 May 2005
In spite of all intentions, a movie has to be understandable for the average intelligent person. It works and has always worked by the main method of showing pictures in motion. It's not supposed to be a filmed text, although the text in this film is not read, but spoken.

The Israeli girl here is not really acting. She is an instrument for Godard's confusing view on politics and war. Things that ought to be obvious, like the meaning of Indians in the library of Sarajevo, becomes slightly comical in its so called complexity. The climax is when the Israeli girl talks about the only philosophical problem: The suicide.

We aren't interested in that problem because we don't get any solutions. This film is dead, because Godard doesn't seem to have an answer to whether death or anything else exists (although it's definitely worth discussing, according to him). This is not a movie. It's a filmed text and you won't care about it.
