From Jean-Luc Godard comes Eloge de l'amour, an intelligent, visually ravishing, witty meditation on life, love and popular culture. Shot in a dazzling combination of luminous black and white celluloid and state of the art colour saturated digital video, Eloge de l'amour concerns an author (Bruno Putzulu) and the beautiful young woman (Cecile Camp) he is considering for a part in a project he is writing which deals with the four key moments of love. Convinced that he may have met the woman before, we travel back two years in time to a series of interviews with an elderly couple who fought in the Resistance. Could this be where the enigmatic pair first met? Looking back to his past by shooting on the streets of Paris for the first time since Masculin Feminin, Eloge de l'amour also finds the celebrated, cutting edge director and cineaste with his eyes firmly on the future, probing new compositions of sound and image and redifining the very language of cinema. Eloge de l'amour possesses more ideas and originality in a single frame than most films manage in their entirety.
