Weekend

My favourite Godard film … possibly. I will have to rewatch The Image Book but when Godard goes surreal or abstract he just hits my brain in the right places.

I could try go into it more but I frankly won’t do it justice, all I’ll say is I wish more directors were as aggressive with a point as this.

Perfect film! Godard at his best!

Still no Rotta The Hutt tho, So this movie sucks actually.

Looks like Monday started a few days early

A master in surrealism and satire excellence. I initially expected a humorous parody of the bourgeois society and a dramatised depiction of the price of vanity and greed. however I was pleasantly surprised to discover it was so much more. it explored a world where political radicalism infiltrated everything, leaving an apocalyptic and violent earth. it poked fun at communism and other beliefs in a tasteful yet unique fashion.

Beyond the vast amount of themes portrays, so many sequences within this film was so visually enticing and attached layers to the narrative while also pushing the satirical tone further.

I genuinely loved this so so much!!! Enjoyment wise I would easily give this a 5 stars however the animal cruelty made it not worthy of that.

The first half is a sharp, an unsettling look at societal decay, but the second half abandons structure for pure chaos. There are some genuinely brilliant ideas here, especially in how the film suggests that society acts as a mask, suppressing people’s primal desires, and once that mask breaks, so does any sense of sanity. I think the ideas are compelling, but the execution falls apart in the last half hour.
