Alain E @AlainE Nov 27 This has aged much better than earlier Godard works that totally alienated the viewer. I can’t say that this film clearly communicates a position. In this version Mary lives over her father’s gas station outside Geneve. She is dating Joseph who has transitioned from carpenter to driving a cab (Honda Accord to be more precise). There is an early subplot about a little girl that travels between her separated parents. Without having sex, Mary gets pregnant and eventually Joseph accepts the situation. Mary delivers a boy, who reminiscent of Jesus, leaves his parents to attend to his Father’s affairs. Throughout there is excellent photography, eventually Godard showing us aspects of nature, possibly reflecting the existence of God. This is a significant improvement over sequences of construction sites that we were shown in Two or three thing I know about her. This is essentially an intellectual poem accompanied by pieces of very good classical music that can speak even to an atheist like myself. I should mention that there is frequent nudity without any sex. If someone finds these images stimulating, they need assistance.

An amazing study in psychology and relationships. Also incredibly well filmed. See more 07/27/2014 This is just a mess of a film. It is slow moving and ridiculously pointless. See more 04/11/2014 I had always heard of this film, but after finally watching it I was very disappointed. There is certainly a point here, but Goddard's artifice and pacing is so slow that it almost felt like cinematic torture to me.
