Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Dave KehrHe is searching for a point of equilibrium between the made and the found, the ordered and the chaotic -- a point from which to define an aesthetic for the 80s.
DVD Review - 8/10 by Felix Gonzalez Jr.With equal parts heist drama and romantic comedy, the movie continues Godard's exploration of film ....
Goatdog's Movies - 5/10 by Michael W. Phillips, Jr.In the middle of the muddle, there was a nearly perfect scene.
User Review - 10/10 by Jack Gone of Godard's few great (or at least near great) films that he's done since the 60s. yeah, he's been in quite a slump- Week End was, almost the end of cinema. he's rebounded once or twice, but this, alongside Notre Musique and maybe bits of Number Two is all he's been able to offer aside from mental masturbation
User Review - 10/10 by James BGodard turns the plot of the opera "Carmen" on its head with a mixture of slapstick violence, cryptic non sequiturs, beautifully composed shots, and graphic sexuality. But best of all are the scenes with Godard playing an eccentric, possibly crazy, film director named Jean-Luc Godard.
User Review - 10/10 by David HI love Godard Movies and this one is very special Totally Avantgarde, grotueske, morbid, sexy and with the beautiful Music of Beethoven
User Review - 8/10 by Dan CGodard's works tend to get better on repeated viewings - this one for example has so many layers to it that you'll find something new every time. It's equally a nod to Godard's 60's successes (a Pierrot Le Fou style heist story), reflection on art, cinema vs. video industry and economics as well as a study of man/female relationships. There's the tragic Merimee/Bizet love story, a Beethoven score and finally Godard himself. Bleaker and sleazier than his early work, this is a confusing yet strangely beautiful film.
User Review - 8/10 by Karlo MWicked. Jean Luc as Jean Luc playing a defunct Maoist numerology-obsessed director whose niece is trying to get him to direct a film project which is really a front for a bank robbery. In the mean time, she becomes entangled with a police officer whose passion becomes a detriment to her criminal scheme. Extremely self-referencial with a little bit of Pierrot, a bit of Weekend, and a precursor to Notre Musique. The sound design is MAGNIFICENT. Throughout the film we see a chambre orchestra rehearsing the music score-- at several points they weave in and out of the story and reinforce the division between reality/fiction in the same manner that Godard's fictional persona blurs a similar line. Guns, violence, sex, and cars. Gender division, arm-chair politics, drama, tragedy and everything else in between. At one point Godard asks if the film will be a documentary, "You're making it up? the documentary... I hope it's fiction." A little self-tooting of the proverbial horn never hurts especially when your passion is cinema and your first name is Jean Luc.
User Review - 8/10 by Gordon CThe combination of image/music/story is breathtaking. It shows really the beauty of nudity.
User Review - 8/10 by Mariano AUn director clasico, en una demostracion de su lime.
