Review

 Trailer of The Film That Will Never Exist: ¡°Phony War¡± is a short officially approved as the last work of Jean-Luc Godard. He used a montage approach by cutting and combining images throughout his career, and Trailer of The Film That Will Never Exist: ¡°Phony War¡± also uses a montage approach. This film suggests the imagination of Godard's ideas, references, and visuals for films that will never exist due to his death. Nevertheless, his topic of interest is only implied by sudden cutting, intended interruption of flow, and rhythm of discontinuous images. The film conveys the pulsation that continued until the assisted suicide of Godard, who tenaciously explored new definitions and debated about the world and cinema.
