This is a visually impressive, stunning exploration of many themes which would not ordinarily seem to be amenable to film. If you're not much of a thinker, I'm not sure how I might convince you to see this film... but it *is* worth seeing. There is humour and intelligence and a deep subtlety to this film. Godard possesses and portrays more ideas and original explorations of broad themes than (m)any other contemporary film makers.
Paris, the Breton coast, globalisation, love, memory, humanity, war, the State, history and memory both individual and collective... universality, showing moments of love, moments in history, in time... they are all here in stunning form.
A wonderfully deep, evocative film which can take a while to 'digest' intellectually, as the subject matter is so diverse and 'big'... but in a good way! In fact something as simplistic as the opposition of bad/good has no place in this film or to do with it. This is a marvellous film which is, admittedly, challenging.
If you don't want to think or be challenged - either don't watch this film, or watch it and enjoy the beautiful music and wonderful visual qualities (and remember that it's still better than MTV).
