Not entirely for me but this still makes me interested in Goddard.
How it was made is important in how the film operates and how it kinda goes from scene to scene.
It adds a day to day, moment to moment quality to the film.
But it doesn't give me allot to chew on in terms of characters.The performances are great but the dialogue throughout the film, while cool and paints a picture....its just not enough.
I do see allot of similarities between Goddard, this film and how i made my first short film as I also made up parts as I went allong.Watch my films https://boxd.it/bAMBX3

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish, restless portrait of doomed lovers on the margins of society, told with a jazzy energy that belies the bleakness beneath. Godard's debut feels like watching someone's authentic panic in real time, caught between desperate romance and inevitable reckoning.
