There is nothing predictable about Weekend; Godard uses the camera as a radical satirical tool, inserting it up the backside of a society he perceives as lost, constrained and confused. And so are we. Full Review |

Week End constantly propagates images that convey class and taste. And in few films does privilege seem so crass and repellant. Full Review |

4.5/5 |
A brutally satirical film somewhat reminiscent of the works of Luis Bunuel, this was Jean-Luc Godard's most ambitious and vociferous 'revolutionary' movie before he retired to the shelter of the Dziga-Vertov group. Full Review |
