I had to turn the sound off after a while - all that honking was getting on my nerves! :worried:

I really miss such things in other movies. You could have turned down the volume only a little bit. :wink:

I do like Jean-Pierre Leaud. He was so good in "Les Quatre Centre Coups." :smile:

wow, seven and a half minutes. that has to be a record. how the hell did goddard engineer that? marvelous piece of cinematography, elmar.
the lama lmao and the people picnicing on the asphalt... too good... then the shock. thanks for posting. i only remember that i had seen this film when i started watching the video.

it says a lot. even in that it is tiresome... but why? why not just dig it. well, with the sound down, if it irritates you. dynamite.

Of course, this is just an excerpt and it's much better to watch the whole film. The best, from my view, would be to see even Godard's other films as well. :wink:
