One of Godard’s better films. As usual for the french new wave the film plays with structure, editing style etc and is more concerned with creating a feeling than telling a tight story, such as the famous dance scene.
Modern audiences may find a lot of the techniques that call attention to themselves a little intrusive - the voiceover, the minute silence etc. but the film is never boring and was part of the blueprint to show filmmakers that they can, to a certain extent, do what they want and free themselves of convention and still create a good film.
Definitely worth a watch. I consider this one of Godard’s best films, along with Breathless, Alphaville and Le Mepris.
