      Audience Member Originally meant as a documentary about the Palestinian conflict directed by Gorin and Mieville, thanks to Godard's involvement, it becomes a much deeper and philosophical exploration of politics, media coverage and documentary filmmaking in general. Ici et Ailleurs mixes real footage with fictional one to achieve a reflexive impact, making it an original and thought-provoking experience. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member If I see an image but only remember seeing that image after seeing another image, is it the same image or is it a different image because I am remembering seeing an image? As Keanu Reeves says: Whoa. I am chewing gum while typing this. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review jack c It becomes dangerously pro-Palestine at times (by that I mean pro-terrorist in the guise of pro-revolutionary), but what almost saves it is that the filmmakers can into question the whole form of documentary of this nature. It's a look back for Godard of his days as a Maoist before his near-fatal motorcycle accident, and there's a sense of meditation on his part on the whole mess of trying to document something that is so simple and awful at the same time (some of the terrorists interviewed may have had connections to Black September it's revealed). Neither best nor worst for the filmmaker, it's really just something completists should check out. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member maybe it is my emotional ties with Palestine that made me appreciate this movie so much! One of the least seen Godard movie, yet a must-see for anyone interested in world politics without compromising cinematic importance. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Ici et ailleurs is like a bridge between the militant groupe dziga vertov years and the subsequent video works in which Mieville replaces Gorin... i must say i was deeply moved by the film, which is aesthetically as intransigent and subversive as any other vertov period film accompanied by a destructive political self-criticism of the previous years... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Godard et Mieville reviennent sur un film inacheve du Groupe Dziga Vertov (Jusqu'a la victoire) pour en critiquer la methode et le propos. Un film-essai dont JLG fera bientot l'une de ses specialites. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
