This is probably Godard’s least accessible film and it would be easy to dismiss it as confused, incoherent nonsense.  Certainly, it is not an easy or comfortable film to watch.  There is no strong underlying narrative, all of the principal characters are strangely detached and underdeveloped, and some of the quirky Godardisms (such as the voice of the mysterious god-like being, reminiscent of the computer in Alphaville) are a little off-putting.  Despite that, this remains a fascinating and profound work of cinema which further confounds the enigma that is Jean-Luc Godard. 

This is probably one of those films which you have to watch at least five times to appreciate fully.  But, for the patient, it is a film worth seeing.  It broaches themes which are major concerns for society, indeed for humanity, themes which have growing importance as our world becomes more mechanised and atheistic.  Human existence has some meaning – must have some meaning – but in a universe where there is no God, where mankind has the power to explain so much, what can that meaning be?  It is a question which this film scarcely begins to answer, but it is all the more remarkable for what it does manage to say, because so few other film directors are prepared to venture down this avenue.
