Finally I have found a kindred spirit in "i am the arm". Weekend is also my favourite Godard film yet few other people, even among Godard fans like it as much as his other stuff.
Re johnnywinternoshow don't worry about not liking Breathless. I absolutely detestedt it because it pissed me off so much and it was also my first film from Godard. I still don't think I'd like it all that much if I watched it now.
Then I watched Weekend. I couldn't fucking believe what I had just seen. One of the very few films in the history of cinema that can truly be said to be iconoclastic, in the "I'm gunna tear down the fucking establishment like a 14th century church smashing barbarian" kind of way.
I've seen pushing 30 of his films. So I'll do a little guide for people trying to get into his work when I have a little more time. That sounds a bit pretentious. I'll recommend some films of his that I think kick cinematic arse and don't bore like many see Breathless as doing.
