Perhaps that we are in too much of a hurry in our contemporary society, and therefore are a danger to ourselves and those around us. The second half with all the long monologues I found pretty boring. The first half was stronger.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-7746788116277747042019-03-27T11:57:35.350-07:002019-03-27T11:57:35.350-07:00@keith71_98-Merci.

Now there's only 2 more Godard feature-length films from the New Wave period and then I'll just want and see where to go next.thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-20686088519651806832019-03-27T06:23:58.516-07:002019-03-27T06:23:58.516-07:00Great review of a Godard classic.

Yes, this is a must if you are interested in the period of the French New Wave though it is an abstract film that play into the idea of narrative as it did mark an end for Godard in narrative-based filmmaking for a time in relation to what was happening politically and socially in France and what was to come in the year after its release. thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21463545.post-37499429136215906002019-03-26T05:55:28.295-07:002019-03-26T05:55:28.295-07:00I just watched a different film Called Weekend rec...I just watched a different film Called Weekend recently but I haven't seen this one.
