"Lyrical and beautiful...Godard's best feature since NOUVELLE VAGUE."
—Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

An eloquently personal testament about "things beginning, things coming to an end," IN PRAISE OF LOVE opens in Paris, where the young artist Edgar (Putzulu) is developing a project on the nature of love. In the second part, set two years earlier, he journeys to Brittany to interview Resistance veterans, only to find that their memories are being bought up for a Steven Spielberg blockbuster. The first part, shot on black-and-white film, is a ravishing Parisian nocturne; the second part shifts to supersaturated color video, evoking the seascapes of Turner and Monet. In French with English subtitles. 35mm. (MR)
