...question isn't whether man will survive but whether he deserves to.") The second part, shot digitally in carnival colors, concerns an old couple whose distant past as members of the French Resistance a Hollywood producer wants to turn into a film. This is an expression of Godard's distrust of Steven Spielberg and his film Schindler's List. "Mrs. Schindler was never paid," one character notes. "She's living in poverty in Argentina." Ah, that Godard: he is always serious, always impish. He lives up to his own maxim: "Every thought should show the debris of a smile." Elogie...

No need to feel a mere lurking distrust from your local adviser or senior tutor or dean; one in the past had the temerity (or foolhardiness) necessary to say it outright.
