At times painful to watch. Especially (audio)visually disappointing: the ugly shots really fly around your ears at a rapid pace. Godard frequently comes up with all kinds of cheap filters, but the only fascination that comes from his frantic fumbling is how one attempt can be even more hideous than the other. The plot - if any - also failed to captivate me for a moment, which made the mere 70 minutes tick by very slowly.
I have absolutely nothing against the concept of an audiovisual poem. In fact, a film like Container is one of my absolute favorites. But I found this to be amateurish crap squared. As I said before, the film came across as a cramped experiment by an old man who hasn't really kept up with the times. 1* because it is undeniably unique.

Visually, the camera is artistically played around with quite a bit, often with beautiful results,
but rather incoherently the film struggled to hold my attention. A
problem I often have with Godard's films, whose idiosyncratic approach is
films are commendable, but unfortunately for me they often have a disturbing effect.

In his penultimate feature film, Godard shakes the film world to its foundations once more as only he can. Experimental is often synonymous with pretentious and deadly dull, but Godard surprises time and again with sudden transitions in image, sound (and volume) and film techniques, embracing the most modern film cameras. There are two chapters (Nature and Metaphor) and two couples (Josette [Heloïse Godet]/ Gédéon [Kamel Abdelli] and Ivitch [Zoé Bruneau]/Marcus [Richard Chevallier], but a handsome guy can distill a plot from this. The film is stolen anyway by the dog that connects both segments.
