Wilfully obscure Late Godard. After his experimental phase in the 70's, Godard supposedly returned to mainstream cinema, but this movie isn't many peoples' idea of a mainstream movie. It's title is deceptive as there isn't much of a noir plot and most of the movie consists of scenes and conversations that don't really go anywhere. Some of these are quite amusing, like a scene where people wonder why porno movies are refered to as x-rated. But the film is mostly frustrating, chiefly to be viewed by film scholars and JLG buffs.
