JEAN-LUC GODARD'S WEEKEND (THE CRITERION COLLECTION) [BLU-RAY]

Details

• Release Year: 1967
• Genre: Comedy, Drama, Foreign
• Plot: This scathing late-sixties satire from Jean-Luc Godard is one of cinema's great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, Weekend is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society reverting to savagery, and—according to the credits—the end of cinema itself.;
