Dir. Jean-Luc Godard · Starring Sandrine Battistella, Pierre Oudrey, Alexandre Rignault, Rachel Stefanopoli, Jean-Luc Godard

“It's my body, it's my kitchen, my kids. It's too much, and yet, it's not enough.”

DramaDocumentary

Jean-Luc Godard mixes video and film in his Grenoble studio, discussing how he secured funding for the film. The action unfolds on two monitors, as a young working-class couple lives in a claustrophobic, high-rise apartment complex and marital discord is set off by the wife’s infidelity.

VIBE

This is a challenging, analytical film that dissects domestic life and societal structures with a detached, clinical gaze. It feels like an academic exercise, demanding active engagement from the viewer.
