Week End - (Jean-Luc Godard;1967;Italy/France)
A middle class married couple driving to Oinville for a will encounter a huge traffic jam, dead road rage victims, and many eccentrics, including cannibalistic hippies.
My first Godard film and a very fascinating one at that. The film gradually strips down society through violence, political speeches, and ultimately degradation to the point of cannibalism. This is a great film, although there are moments where it drags. It does manage to blend violence from an angry director with some nice humor in some moments. The French countryside also provides some wonderful cinematography. Ultimately this is a disturbing jab at society that is still relevant today.
