A few things I learned/observed in Godard's tenth feature film...
A man and a woman engage in an affair in which they embrace modernity and violence while neglecting the conveniences of modern living for the principles of revolution.
The landscape is scarred by text.
Sometimes cinema is montage. Editing can find realities that cannot exist alone in an image but do exist through juxtaposition.
Blocking actors in space does not have to be a humorless affair.
In the silent era, a shot like this would be cropped in-camera. In modernity, it is cropped via architecture.
Absurdity is important.
