Description

While the world eagerly awaits his new feature, Jean-Luc Godard’s Une Catastrophe (Switzerland/Italy) has its Canadian premiere in Toronto. Returning to the essayistic style that has come to define his extensive post-Nouvelle Vague body of work, the film brings a flash of the director’s prosody, complete with the grunting sounds of a tennis match, a dash of German melodrama and his signature epigrammatic wordplay.
