By this point Godard was at the heights of his fame, everything he touched was gold or at least silver. In this film he tackles the oh so confusing topic of love, relationships and males and females. The movie does contain some great scenes like the painting of Peace In Vietnam on the side of the American car or Madeleine's speech about her dreams of having a number one record and a brand new car. Even the random moments when people randomly die and we are told "One Woman, One Man, An Ocean of Blood"...(or something like that...are quite entertaining). For each great moment the film has though, it has an equal moment that just doesn't sit right in the film and partially this isn't this film. The best descriptions I've found of his films, describe them as a car with a loose wheel that is about to fly off, but never does. I give this film an 7/10, for being too serious to take lightly and too light to take seriously.
7/10
