Godard’s Week End

That movie found in the trash, the tag line, “A sup­po­sedly idy­llic wee­kend trip to the country­side turns into a never-ending night­mare of traf­fic jams.” really says nothing. This is cate­go­ri­cally the most weird, per­ple­xing and inte­res­ting film I have recently seen. Whilst I unders­tand some moments my lack of know­ledge of the era, poli­tics and movie his­tory lea­ves me lost in the subt­le­ties and the bri­lliance, that many revie­wers claim, is beyond me. I would love it if a kind sole could point me in the direc­tion of a good analy­sis or some back­ground infor­ma­tion. The above video is a 10 minute clip from the movie.
