Swooningly and desperately romantic at once - as though two sides of the same coin - and in that seeking and finding the romance and romantic nature inherent in abstraction itself. Godard would never be this much fun (or funny) and playful ever again, nor had he been before really (in fact of all his films this might be the one that would play best to a mainstream audience in 2025), but he also contextualizes it, practically asserting the film…

Wildly underrated this one ....deleted my last review out of shame despite it being positive anyways. Subtext, subtext, subtext, and when you realize what the vampires represent and you get to that final Buddy Guy scene this really becomes deeply moving, even devastating.
