If you are celebrated auteur Jean-Luc Godard, it’s the 1960s, and your cranking out about 7 movies a year, the odds are strong that there’s going to be some winners and losers in the mix.  And the question today is whether or not this picaresque travel film about a  married couple (played by Jean Yanne and Mireille Darc) braving the traffic jam, car crash, and cannibal-strewn French countryside to murder a family member in get their inheritance early is a good one or a bad one.  It’s even more to the point of the film that the central premise is actually whether or not the film itself is good or bad.  And then it comes down to the point of whether or not the premise about whether or not the film is good is a good premise or not.  Merry Christmas!

If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Three Colours: Blue (1993).
