Film6.3BelgeselDramHiçbir kalıba sığmayan, dünyanın en yaratıcı ve yenilikçi yönetmenlerinden Godard’ın bu son filmi yine kışkırtıcı, yine zorlayıcı, elbette politik ve zihin açıcı. Godard’ın kendi sesiyle "Savaş geldi" diyerek başlattığı, bazılarına göre "gözlere ve kulaklara hitap eden bir şiir", bazılarına göre ise "bir korku filmi kadar güncel ve dehşet verici" olan İmgeler ve Sözcükler, bilge aktivist Godard’ın gözünden dünyanın hâlini anlatıyor. Farklı formatların, görüntü kaynaklarının, ses parçalarının kolajlandığı İmgeler ve Sözcükler, sinemada artık hiçbir şeye özgün denilemeyeceğini iddia eden bir zihin egzersizi, oryantalizmden sinema ahlakına kadar birçok konuya değinen görsel bir bombardıman, yine heyecan verici bir başyapıt.
