Film Socialisme alternative French title Socialisme, English: Socialism but often referred to as Film Socialism, is a 2010 French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

The film was first screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival,[2] to a widely varying reception, and released in France two days later, on 19 May 2010. It screened at the 48th New York Film Festival in 2010, the 27th film that Godard has shown at the festival.[3]

Plot

According to the synopsis on the film's official website,[4] the film is composed of three movements:

Cast

Production

Principal photography began in 2008, and the film was originally scheduled for a 10 January 2010 release, but an extended post-production delayed its release.[6][7] Most of the film was shot around the Mediterranean Sea.

The film is Godard's first in HD video and the 16:9 aspect ratio, as well as his first in several decades not be photographed with an intended aspect ratio of 4:3. Though Godard was one of the first major directors to shoot and edit on video, and has incorporated video footage and editing into most of his work since the mid-1970s, this is the first theatrical release from him to be shot entirely in a digital format. As with many of his films, Godard's partner Anne-Marie Miéville worked on the film, other people credited as collaborators being Fabrice Aragno and Louma Sanbar, who also have worked with Godard before.

The cruise ship is the Costa Concordia,[5] sailing around the Mediterranean Sea. This ship was wrecked in real life in January 2012.
