Originally posted by Capo de La Cosa Nostra: [b]Week-end (Weekend) Jean-Luc Godard 1967 France/Italy (2nd time) A bourgeois couple travel to Oinville, but their journey is hampered by an endless traffic jam and forest-dwelling savages. Godard's vision of Hell, depicted with brutal force at the expense of middle class consumerism: apparently, in order to overcome the horrors of the bourgeoisie, more horror is required. Essential viewing, as a cinematic mass of one artist's ideas; it is quite clearly made by somebody disgusted with the world.

Weekend says more in one frame than most films do in their entirety. I consider it to be one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of cinema.
