Film Socialisme (2010) – A Film Review
Transactive memory. Eggs in a meringue? Deep thought is lost.
140 chrctrs. Vous googlez?
Alienate. No plate served. An avalanche of distraction. Send in your pictures.
Give a minute; get the world.
Breaking, breaking, breaking, breaking…
Never search. Never find. Never know.
Eat, sleep, snap. Eat, sleep, snap.
Ennui.
Slave wages on Roman galleys.
Resource-dependent. Spend it or we will.
In the shadow of a phantom saviour?
Hand me the story.

Eleven score & one. L’Etat, c’est toujours eux.
I care.
Just not enough.
Universal right of man is to be left alone.
Jerusalem.
Wife of the Lamb.
Mother of wolves.
An artist is only an artist thanks to his exquisite sense of beauty — a sense which provides him with intoxicating delights, but at the same time implying and including a sense, equally exquisite, of all deformity and disproportion.
Charles Baudelaire

Hahahahahahahaha Longman!!! Love it!!! As always you are quite the creative guy, and what better way than this to convey the essence of the cryptic and abstract film!!! I get the feeling you are NOT a fan of it, though you didn’t make an admission as such even with the deliberately evasive presentation. But that’s my gut feeling.
I disliked this film intensely and went on a crusade of sorts against it at my own place.
But this is really GREAT!

Well, Sam, as Adam Smith once said, on the road from the City of Scepticism, I had to pass through the Valley of Ambiguity!
