The old fart is very derivative of himself: Another ritzy cartoon, all abruption and no empathy… Godard says without saying, “being in love is like being thrown in the can.” There’s lots of slaps, gunfights under chandeliers, quotes from Proverbs and arguments in the nude. Like always, Godard’s girl steals the heart of the hero only to later pull the rug out from under him.

Godard deconstructs Bizet's opera and reconstructs as, at various points, a Bonnie-and-Clyde tale of lovers on the lam, a madcap comedy, a chamber piece, a modern urban romance, a courtroom drama and, finally, a tragedy. Godard plays a delightful parody of himself. Funny, sexy, and relatively accessible. Like much of Godard's later work, it's very much a film about its own construction.

Se siente como si en vez de estar viendo una película, estuvieses viendo una obra de teatro. Lo que este señor hace con los sonidos es sinónimo de un Dios.

One of Godard's most enjoyable films. It seems to be freewheeling, but follows the Carmen narrative very strongly. Godard debuts his Uncle Jean character and is quite funny in places.

Another height of Godard's power, the film captures something of his 1960s films, yet holds a strength of something new. He manages to, once again, press cinema and her limbs to the point of amputation.

" When shit's worh money , the poor won't have assholes ! " a poetic comic erotic musical film , with great nippy scoff and absurd situations . Godard plays great as himself . a uinque film among Godard's masterpieces .

"I didn't go to college but , but I know the world doesn't belong to the innocent." Godard's best opening lines? I think so.
