This short features a man who is visited by his ex-lover. The moment she arrives, the man starts his constant barrage of speech; the woman doesn't say much. She just mocks the man and pretends she isn't listening. She pulls faces at him and larks about; while the man is trying his best to get her back in his life, then in the next sentence he says he hates her.

Me ha recordado muchísimo a À bout de souffle. Es increíble ver cómo Godard ya estaba dando forma a muchas de las ideas que después desarrollaría en una de sus películas más importantes. Eso sí, Belmondo vuelve a hacer que su personaje me caiga fatal, pero supongo que esa también es parte de la gracia. Incluso en un corto tan temprano, Godard ya tenía una forma de hacer cine que se siente completamente suya.

craving for a stream of consciousness like belmondo’s one from a man and a nonchalant answer from me
