Summary: Godard's tribute to Euro soft-porn cheese?
Review: The usual nonsensical Godard. This one is more like one of those cheesy soft-core European flicks from the 70's. Unrelenting mysogynist Godard perhaps "filmed" this mess only in order to have as many shots of then very hot actress Maruschka Detmers prance about butt-naked. Still, Godard always has that nostalgic nonsense quality of the 60's so I'll rate him 1 1/2 stars (approx. 3 stars on the IMDB scale from 1-10).
Also, in comparison to his more memorable nonsense this one does not stand the test of Father Time.

Summary: Great movie but don't buy it.
Review: This is a very good Goddard movie that Fox Lorber treats badly. On both video and DVD it is advertised as letterbox but it is actually full frame on both. If that doesn't bother you then movie is worth seeing just to enjoy Goddard presenting himself as an institutionalized washed-up filmmaker determined to stay institutionalized..

Summary: A rather accessible Godard film that's sexy and provocative
Review: Too bad that it's not in letterbox format as it is advertised, but both the image and sound are good enough for anyone to enjoy this film. Extended frontal nudity but the real sexual tension is built up by the juxtapositions of Beethoven string quartet and many inter-cuts to the ocean with wave pondering rocks on shore. Very interesting story telling with Godard in an almost self-mocking role. (I can't recall if any other directors have made themselves look SO bad in their own films.) Don't miss!
