Reviews
Relevant at its theater release and when viewed some sixty years later.
Maybe Andy Warhol didn't make the quintessential Pop Art masterwork. Maybe Jean-Luc Godard did.
The spirited cast -- including Anne Wiazemsky, Jean-Pierre Léaud, and Juliet Berto -- make all this touching as well as troubling.
Godard's acute examination of the political climate of the period.
It’s shocking to see Godard bite the hand that admires him, but this is what makes the movie relevant and timeless.
Maoism appears as the latest campus fad in Jean-Luc Godard's 1967 film.
