The Image Book (French: Le Livre d'image) is a 2018 Swiss film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. Initially titled Tentative de bleu and Image et parole,[1] in December 2016 Wild Bunch co-chief Vincent Maraval stated that Godard had been shooting the film for almost two years "in various Arab countries, including Tunisia" and that it is an examination of the modern Arabic world.[2] Godard told Séance magazine that he was shooting without actors but the film would have a storyteller.[3] It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival.[4][5][6] Although it did not win the official prize, the jury awarded it the first "Special Palme d'Or" in the festival's history.[7]
