Author: Dae from United Kingdom

Any individual so facile, so without even the very fundamental tools of perception required to grasp the absurdity of attacking Godard's 'Style' should be quite fully dismissed, their ludicrously fecund assertions with them. Such an individual is one who can only assumed to have never watched a film by either Godard or Ophuls, lest he might have realised the supreme irrelevance of inconsequential Godardisms on a remarkable body of work. So contemptible do I find the incestuously journalistic tripe that this user feels necessary to fob off as critique that, as evidenced, I was move to address it directly, to commit the marked hypocrisy of failing to attend the work itself. You are fortunate then that several other passably fair views of the work, not one that one need think more than once about seeing at the nearest opportunity, exist on this very page.

All we need now is a decent DVD release.
