  Self-indulgent tosh
  
  Oh dear. I thought I was arty and pretentious until I saw this. Self-indulgent tosh from start to finish. Tosh, tosh, tosh.

  Two characters in search of an exit.
  
  While I have found some of Godards work fairly profound, The Weekend totally wasted mine. Imagine sitting in a traffic jam - slowly getting more agitated. One ... read more »

  "A film found on a dump..."
  
  This is the warning that begins the film - it is not going to comfort you, but will shock, confuse, surprise, and hopefully inspire.
