This is Godard at his best, reminding both the early days, in the black and white first two thirds, and the beginning of his last phase with Sauve qui Peut, in the digital colorful flashback at the end of the film. This epilogue is especially lively, and revealing.
The old rebel offers fascinating, but not always appeasing, insights about aging, memory and history, along with an endearing (though disguised as sarcastic) pledge of cultural tolerance.
And he proves that the digital technology offers wonderful and numerous possibilities that only someone as gifted as him seems to be aware of these days (not to mention his use of music and live sound).
When the film is over you will want to see it once again, to understand it fully, but also to experience all its beauty one more time.
