    • Trivia
      Though based on "The Jugger" by Richard Stark (Donald E. Westlake), the author received no compensation for this adaptation. Westlake, who passed away at the end of 2008, successfully kept the film from being shown in the US during his lifetime.
    • Quotes

      Marianne Faithfull: It is the evening of the day / I sit and watch the children play / Smiling faces I can see / But not for me / I sit and watch / As tears go by / My riches can't buy everything / I want to hear the children sing / All I hear is the sound / Of rain falling on the ground / I sit and watch / As tears go by / It is the evening of the day / I sit and watch the children play / Doing things I used to do / They think are new / I sit and watch / As tears go by

    Strange stuff!
    A cinematographic experiment by Jean-Luc Godard! Not too accessible. Interesting opening credits with just the initials of the cast. The colors are bright, contrasting with the usual black and white movies that Godard made before this one. At some point, the movie reminded me of the hit series "Twin Peaks" by David Lynch. But this is way more incoherent. In fact, it's hard to figure if there's anything to be made of this film. Still, Godard get to explore the fascination of the French for everything that comes from the U.S.A. Another interesting fact: some of the talks exchanged by the characters (ex. in the bar scene). A linguist would probably have some fun analyzing this. Some scenes are just painful to watch if you're tired (ex. the political manifesto on tape)! Anna Karina is great to watch, as usual.

    Out of 100, I give it 71. That's good for ** out of ****.

    Seen at home, in Toronto, on November 26th, 2002.
