Movie Review - Weekend

Week End (1967)
directed by Jean-Luc Godard
rating: 5 out of 5 cravats
on DVD from Netflix

On the other end of the moviemaking spectrum - where technique is not invisible beneath a submarine rendezvous or steel winter palette - you have this, Godard's guerrilla masterpiece. Nothing's as instructive as an artist who knows every inch of his craft showing you exactly how he does it, and Jean-Luc has the humility to make it funny, too.
