I will mention before I start this review that sadly my experience was greatly hampered by a technical issue with the subtitles, I am not a french speaker but have watched movies with subtitles all my life. During the film the subtitles would regularly become blurry and hard to read. Because of that I found myself playing catch-up to everything that was being said.
Adieu au Langage/A Goodbye to Language features a couple of interesting 3D tricks, and I sure would invite another filmmaker to tackle a more ambitious experimental 3D film.
The couple of times these shots where featured in the film it sure made me wonder about how 3D could possibly be used as another element to add to the cinematic language, the same way music, editing and color have in the past.
Because of the technical problems with the subtitles I just might go watch this movie a second time.
Anyway for now my opinion is that, outside of a little bit of cool experimentation with 3D, this film was just people waxing philosophically. Often in the nude while, of course, smoking cigarettes.
