Kevin Thomas gave this 1965 Jean Luc Godard film the critics' choice mantel in last Sunday's La Times. In his capsule review he writes:
This is the pivotal 1965 jean-Luc Godard film in which the iconoclastic filmmaker moves toward his apocalyptic essay from that adheres to the present. His twist on the reality vs. fantasy take is to make the viewer constantly aware that it is fantasy that he or she is watching, a stance that yields layered meanings and intricate implications. What is "real" in the film which has an intellectual (Jean-Paul Belmondoz) mired in bourgeois luxury running off
with enchanting gun runner Anna Karina, is Godard's frustration and pain at losing Karina, who had left him before making this film.
