With "But i wanted this to be a narrative. But I wanted this to be a narrative. I still do. Nothing from outside to distract memory.” as an opening, this is also a hint at part of what Godard is aiming for with this film. Greed, romance, passion, self-destructive, clashes between social-economical level, wrapped nicely by Godard where in my opinion this is also his most interesting pictures since May 1968. The beautiful and sometimes awkward cinematography creates a thick enigmatic atmosphere in this picture, accompanied by quotations and cross-references a-la Godard from many Classic pictures and literatures from Faulkner to Balzac, Godard is totally predictably unpredictable.
