Week-End
1967
France
Jean-Luc Godard
Cinema of the Absurd
What’s it all about: Jean Yanne and Mireille Darc plot to kill one another and run off with their respective lovers. But plot quickly flies out the window as soon as they hit the road. You know you’re in trouble when the actors look bored.
First Encounter: first viewing
Prostitute Index: nil
Death By: staged car collisions
Relics: amazing title sequences
Heartthrob: Jean Yanne
LoFi Magic: board games in traffic jams, car accidents as scenery, Mireille Darc screaming for her Hermés bag as her car goes up in flames
Makes me want to: beef up the criteria at the Criterion Collection
Candotti take: I actually never saw her Hermés bag.
Worth a watch/rewatch: No (sorry, Jean-Luc)
