Rather than writing a simple letter to explain his absence from the press conference for his latest Cannes entry, "Goodbye to Language," at the Cannes Film Festival, instead, legendary filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard created a video "Letter in motion to (Cannes president) Gilles Jacob and (artistic director) Thierry Fremaux." The video intercuts from Godard speaking cryptically about his "path" to key scenes from Godard classics such as "Alphaville" and "King Lear" with Burgess Meredith and Molly Ringwald, and quotes poet Jacques Prevert and philosopher Hannah Arendt.

Letter in Motion to Gilles Jacob and Thierry Fremaux Audience Reviews

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
Murphy Howard I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Michael_Elliott Khan Khanne (2014)*** (out of 4) When French legend Jean-Luc Godard was unable to attend the Cannes premiere of GOODBYE TO LANGUAGE, instead of sending a letter, making a phone call or simply sending his agent to tell Gilles Jacob and Thierry Fremaux he wouldn't be there, he instead came up with this 8-minute short film. What else would you expect from Godard? Serious, Godard simply make a phone call? This short shows clips from ALPHAVILLE and KING LEAR among other things and we basically hear Godard talk about why he's not going to be at the festival. If you're expecting a normal explanation then obviously this is the first film you've seen from Godard. Instead the director talks about a variety of things ranging from him "taking another path" to "wondering about metaphysical questions" to mention of previous activities in Cuba.Yeah, it's one of those types of films but it's unusual quality is what makes it worth watching and especially if you're into the work of the director. Some might find something ground-breaking here but to me it was just an interesting mix of audio and video from someone who loves to do things differently.
