Of all the Godard films I've wanted to see, this was it, and I found it!! The way it was described in the one book I have about this famous director made it sound so appealing. It's from a place of despair from the director, his whole late period he was in a kind of funk he felt that films were over, there was no future for it. He was of course being overly melodramatic, as I can get too, but what he was feeling and going through was itself a new and brazen manner in which to make a movie, for the viewer to experience a movie, making many to get upset saying this is not a movie!!
It has the star of his 1965 masterpiece Alphaville in it Eddie Constantine. I share it here because I can, and whenever I can do something I may very well do.
I may share many films that are too different for most people, I know perfectly well that anything very different from the norm will be seen as pretentious and garbage, but from my POV I initially clung to the work of directors who diverged radically from the norm, I therefore chose those who did things differently, and that is how I embrace these kinds of films.
For me they can often be challenging, and require further viewings to enjoy, and it's a kind of entertainment that is kinda ambivalent towards what would be mere entertainment, films that provoke and behave more like a piece of serious literature, serious filmmaking can be within the bounds of the norm but stylistically different serious films exist in the work of such luminaries as Jean Luc Godard.
