Now, I'm not exactly the "goddard type". I like movies with metaphors without a specific way but a journey, where you can solve or can't, and above all can reflect society or youself in the picture. Still i tend to pick more linear films that don't want me to raise that many questions. This movie is packed with philosophical thought, political reflections while still has a narrative and still is a murder mystery. but on his own, without following any type of specific "script" in order to get there.
it's still a film that is linear in time: her finding the partner, the scenes where she finds more information about him, the police, the final resolution. it's in the middle, the inbetweens where we watch godard reflect about his world, the existencialist views, how the world is moving, love and cinema.s. It's not all about what is said, but what he wants to say.
i found this movie a bit impenetrable for those that are starting goddard like me. i remember loving alphaville when i sw it, i think this one might be a bit harder to engage. it's probably my fault i admit it. Technically is flawless and the best part is in the great use of colour and even the wardrobe (something i never mention in movies i think this is the first time). It seems to be also an anti consumerism film that hopes repression will die at the same time as fashionable items.
maybe i could give a better grade, but for now it's this. I might come again to see more of this world and have to check more godard films in order to get used to see how he makes cinema. We are too used to want to feel comfortable while in the movies. and on having a film as a piece to consume, not to think or feel anything.
