Film socialisme (2010)
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Drama / Documentary
aka: Film Socialism

Film Synopsis

On a Mediterranean cruise ship, we overhear the conversations of several passengers, but as they talk in their own language how much do we understand?  One night, a brother and sister summon their parents and demand answers to some difficult questions, such as: what is meant by Freedom, Equality and Fraternity?  We are then whisked off to six locations in Europe, the sites of legends that may or may not be true...  Veteran filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard invites us to reflect on the significance of socialism in a world that is fast losing its last vestiges of social cohesion.
