Viewing Notes

I’ve been getting into more Godard recently (as in the past couple of years) and Made in U.S.A (1966) a visual treat. It’s also on my blindspot project list. I can see why as it’s hard not to watch the stunning Anna Karina. Marianne Faithfull is also badass. This is one that deserves more than one viewing if not to understand the plot but to stare in awe at the imagery.
