Yeah! What's with Weekend?
A pretty nuts film, but a great example of when the essays in the booklet provide guidance. I don't think I was really having trouble with the film, but the essays pretty much confirm what you thought it was about.
There's great stuff about Goddard being a total pr#ck to Mireille Darc, plus an interview with Goddard from the late 60s.
Such a scathing film full of unpleasant people.
Don't worry. The Battle of Algiers will set you right again
