Banned for a short while in France, Godard’s second feature boldly and stylistically depicts the moral complexities of the Algerian war, throwing audiences at the time an early political curveball.

Godard’s anarchic work of gleeful nihilism is not just a challenging treatise on the corruption and destruction of bourgeois values, but one of his most essential films about the end of civility and civilisation.  

Emotions run deep in Godard’s masterwork as it charts the deterioration of a couple’s marriage whilst set against the chronic uncertainties of a movie production.
