Jean Galland

Hiçbir 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.

Burjuva ahlak ve davranışlarının eleştirildiği filmdeki kişiler burjuva veya aristokrat sınıfından herhangi birileri olabileceğinden soyadları belirtilmez, sadece "Madame de..." veya "General André de..." şeklinde anılırlar. Film boyunca sürekli el değiştiren elmas küpeler filmin karakterleri ve olayları arasındaki bağlantıyı oluşturur ve farklı kişiler için farklı şeyleri sembolize ederler. Küpeler yerine göre aldatmanın, mülkiyetin, açgözlülüğün, gücün veya aşkın sembolü olurlar.
