"In the recent Jean-Luc Godard film Notre Musique (Our Music, 2004) - an inconclusive meditation on war, terrorism and human nature structured as a Dantean triptych of Hell, Purgatory and Heaven - a woman murmurs: 'If someone understands me, I wasn't making myself clear.' One protagonist professes a 'love for the image even as the image repels'; another asks if 'humane people start revolutions'. Godard, playing himself, replies 'humane people start libraries'.
