Viewing Notes
Can’t say this is a great film. Or a good film for that matter but it’s certainly an interesting film. It’s as though Godard had home video footage of his dog then shot another movie to sew into that and form a loose narrative that really doesn’t make much sense. Intentionally so. The 3D is unnecessary and yet adds another layer of surrealism to an already nonconventional construct.
As the movie began I felt as though I could watch hours of this format. After 45 minutes or so I was glad it only runs 70 minutes. The 3D and funky audio gave me a headache. Glad to have seen this as it was intended but not sure I could recommend.
