I was a senior in high school, so I should have been on screen with his cast of hapless characters, attempting to be serious about everything. Being 60 years late to the party probably explains my overall sense of "meh".
Two things intrigued me:
One, the girls' hairstyles were classic and attractive. The women, in the mid-'60s, had just begun to leave the curlers behind, and it seemed to flatter them all.
Two, there were a few scenes of protest against Americans for being in Vietnam! This was filmed in 1966, and we were just getting started. Funny how Godard and de Maupassant forgot that Vietnam was a French colony for decades and had just been run out a few years earlier. I guess they weren't teaching that in French History in high school.
Just trying to clean up my bucket list. Found on Prime.
