Godard's second film, which was banned in France for 3 years because of its neutral view on France's current strugle in Algeria. The film is interesting because it really isn't a strongly anti-Algerian War film like you would expcept from a leftist like Godard. Instead the film is very much Godard trying to use film as a public forum to figure out what his own views on the complex situation are. Besides these positives I found the rest of the film kind of lacking when compared to many of the other films which I have loved by Godard. I give this film a 7/10, because if you love Godard then you will eventually get around to see this and appreciating it, but if you haven't seen Godard before don't start here, its just not his best work which seems obvious under all the pressure he must have been under to follow up the success of Breathless.
7/10
