Excellent - see it for the penultimate scene alone
By Michael Pattison from Gateshead, England , 03 Sep 2007[Highly rated reviewer]
Framed as a synopsis in progress - so that everything in the film is a 'what if?' - Godard deals simultenously with Cinema as a medium, love as a natural human emotion, and political revolution as a necessity for equality among men. It's a revision and evaluation of the Marxist and Maoist methods of revolution explored in LA CHINOISE, and for all its political jargon (the talking heads are a tad annoying after a while), it sees the return not only of Godard to more commercial cinema, but also the return of Godard the image-maker. Its two standout sequences: early on - in which the two storeys and several rooms of the sausage factory are filmed in extreme long-shot (so as to look like a comic strip), with the camera crabbing from left to right, striving to keep up with the chaotic action; and late on, with Godard's cubist camera crabbing, in one take, from left to right and back again along aisle after aisle of supermarket checkouts, firstly to follow Jane Fonda taking notes, then to follow student revolutionaries who declare everything is free, and finally to show the police raiding the place to control them - nine minutes of absurd virtuosity.- Was this review helpful to you?

By Casualcritic (42 reviews) from Boston Spa , 19 Jan 2010We didn't enjoy this, we found the presentation style got in the way of the story and as a consequence didn't watch it through to the end.- Was this review helpful to you?
