Synopsis
Paul Grivas is one of four cinematographers, with François Aragno, Jean-Paul Battagia and Godard, in Film Socialisme, forming part of the group of young collaborators working closely with the director in recent years. The role of prophet has followed Jean-Luc Godard throughout his career: widely known are his prophecies from May ‘68, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Palestinian Intifada. This is also the case with Film Socialisme, a film which astonishingly foresees the spectre of the European crisis, with the first part filmed on an ocean liner on the Mediterranean, denoting the moral debacle of old continental culture. Few could envisage this metaphor becoming international news: this liner is the Costa Concordia, the boat which capsized and sank in 2012 on the Italian coast, causing 32 deaths. In Film Catastrophe Paul Grivas captures the setting around the shooting of Film Socialisme: living alongside tourists, concerts, buffets, outdoor activities, and so on. Rituals which are inseparable from another on-board feast: tourists devouring images with their mobile phones.
