IFFA: See You Friday, Robinson

An insight into the role of the artist in the 20th and 21st centuries, with anything less than razor-sharp insight and humor."We should start with a correspondence, maybe we will not correspond to one another. Ebrahim can send me a letter this Friday, and I’ll answer him next Friday. So, see you Friday, Robinson!" And so, Jean-Luc Godard stages himself in his daily thought, wisely desperate, and sends images and words from Switzerland to the other side of the Channel. In his mansion in Sussex, Ebrahim Golestan tries to decode these UFO-messages and skillfully seeks to bring them back to the appearance of reason. And so on, until the day a veil falls over the two Gods on the run. Does the existence of poets still have any meaning in these times of distress? Directed by Mitra Farahani.

Screened at Berlinale Festival (Germany, Feb 2022).
