reminds me of that one time I was driving to from vancouer to whistler, (which is like 109 kms) and there was this 10 hour traffic jam.

Especially in the beginning of the film with the description of the menage a trois. The subject matter is dealt with so matter of fact-ly, so journalistically, that it defies any offense that might be taken with it. The way its treated so asexually makes anyone who might take offense the perverted. She may as well be describing a medical procedure (albeit, a very hot medical procedure). Another great Godard film.

I love this scene. Has anyone posted the grocery store scene from "Tout Va Bien"? Very similar, very provocative. Godard is one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.

By: movieboyandco. on 25 Oct 08, 19:16:39
The inspiration from this scene was a short story by Julio Cortazar called "La autopista del sur" if you can find a translation, I highly recommend it. Great scene. I've yet to see the movie, but thanks to this clip now I'm definitely up for it.

You don't need to be Marxist to appreciate this movie, I'm definitely not a commie but I love this movie. I also love shopping and I love my car! Godard sure did everything he can to make us hate cars. It's 1967 and Godard is pissed and he decides to take his camera and show us how pissed he is. He filmed his anger so brilliantly that I'm willing to overlook the moment where he suggested that sleeping with Mao is better than sleeping with LB Johnson :)

Both right; scenes like this are wonderful piled-up half-meaningful absurdities that resist analysis and normal film criticism but pack plenty anger, and they go on and on in the film... this film, and this scene of this film, are the distilled spirit of 68

Even if you don't understand Week End, its a masterpiece of film regarding the technical aspect. I don't know what to think of it either, maybe that's because there is no definite interpretation. But one thing there is for sure, the long takes Godard used in this movie are epic enough to make it immortal! Not only the car scene, the whole film is full of incredibly long takes (i.e. the piano player at the court).

I love this scene... it's just one little ridiculous tableau after the other... The car turned the wrong way, the man on the boat, the old couple dining in the middle of the road... I've seen Week End three or four times, and I still don't know what to think of it... maybe I love it, maybe I hate it... But this scene is the best car scene, I've ever watched though.

Wow, that was really fucking annoying. What kind of morons just sit there and impotently lean on their horns? I'm glad real people don't drive like that.

By: jjjconrad. on 04 Feb 08, 12:07:06
do yourself a favor and see the actual movie, rather than watch this bad file. you don't have to be a marxist at all to enjoy it, but not being stupid helps.

This certainly can't qualify as one of the most accurately-titled YouTube videos. If the poster can fix this, he most certainly shouls.
