French New Wave at it’s finest. Godard wasn’t into stories & preferred his photography to embroider what he had to say, so all dialogue & timing for scenes were written on day of shooting since there was no script.
Jean Luc-Godard at the height of his creativity - this was one of the first real ‘art-house’ films I saw as a young teenager and its always been one of my favourites.
I always think of Weekend as a curious prophecy of the revolutionary events of May ‘68 that occurred in France a year after the film’s release, but I digress…!
