Not one of my favorite godard films but i still like his take on the indecisive nature of love and marriage.
Also it can be very charm and funny at points. Don't think godards style entirely works for this but its still not that bad. Also the film is obviously fiction because WE would go on a date with Anna Karina if she asked.

A Woman Is a Woman
Is this a tragedy or a comedy? Either way, it's a masterpiece.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A dizzyingly charming exploration of desire and jealousy where the narrative playfulness matches the emotional turbulence, Godard treats a love triangle with the visual exuberance and theatrical self-awareness of a musical, making you laugh and cringe in equal measure.
