"Longs métrages France." . . "Van Wert Collection (University of Pennsylvania)" . . . . "Godard's 'second-first' film marked his return to cinema after a decade of video experiment. The themes are not new - prostitution as a metaphor for alienation, the impossibility of durable relationships - although the connection between misogyny and repressed homosexuality is given a new emphasis. While basic oppositions - country v. city, commerce v. independence, sex v. work - are set out very simply, the narrative is developed with ambiguities and unexplained events contained in a dense stylistic weave. New strategies such as the use of stop motion slow down the action. Other devices complicate events by splitting attention. Godard's play on sound-image relationships is relocated. Collages of art cinema, pop art and Hollywood movie conventions and the sustained attempt to demolish illusionistic space are no longer central strategies. The images are more conventionally those of art cinema with reflexivity woven into the narrative." . "Feature" . . . . . . . . . "Feature films" . "Slow motion" . "Vie" .
