Sometimes movies can make me feel really stupid, simply because I don't
feel like I understand them. This is also really the case with this
movie. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good watch but at the same time
I really don't see or understand what it is exactly trying to do or
say.
I don't get the movie its symbolism and messages but even despite that
the movie remains a good and interesting one to watch. Yet at the same
time I'm also still constantly thinking; why are you showing me all of
this and what are you trying to tell with your story and certain
moments. Not to sound too disrespectful but it's a quite pointless
movie, since I got nothing out of it and in my opinion also is a movie
you can very easily do without.
It's one of those movies that seems to be a random slice of life. I can
really like these kind of movies, if they tell an intriguing enough
story. And I wouldn't exactly call this movie a very involving one,
mainly since it isn't always going anywhere with its story. It's still
interesting to see the characters do their things and interacting with
each other but I only did wish that sometimes the movie would have a
more clear point to all of it.
Technically I can't say anything bad about this movie. It's obviously
capably directed by Jean-Luc Godard and the movie has good, atmospheric
black & white camera-work, like you would expect from a French genre
movie of the '60's.
If this movie sounds like it's right up your alley, by all means go and
watch it but to me most people this movie will still be a bit of a
pointless watch. No not bad, just redundant.
7/10
