Structured in three parts, We're All Still Here is both the most formal and the most autobiographical of Miéville's films. It opens with a dialogue between Socrates and Callicles. That the teacher is a suburban housewife who sews and puts on makeup as she subtly guides her pupil adds an unexpected twist to her ancient wisdom. In the second part, Godard recites a monologue taken from Hannah Arendt's The Origins of Totalitarianism. The witty and endearing third part features Godard and Aurore Clément enacting their daily routine as they work to understand each other; we watch with pleasure, speculating about the correspondence to Godard and Miéville's life. But as Cahiers du Cinéma noted, "By using Godard, Miéville is filming more than just the public or personal man, but a character extricated from his own human comedy, yet branded by his body of work."
