Pierrot le fou & Play Time

Pierrot le fou is the first Godard film chronologically that starts to be too political to actually be much of a movie. Except that it keeps insisting it is a movie. Which is one of the charms of Godard, but this felt like a warm up for Week End, a better film, as they're both about a couple who goes on a trip and the world around them devolves. That one at least had the amazing tracking shot of the car accident, still one of the best things ever to be put on film.

Play Time is a semi-sequel to M. Hulot's series of films that included Mon Oncle. This is another satire of modern society, with a higher budget, and apparently did very poorly at the box office. I understand. I felt the length more this time. There were still some funny bits, but it felt like it was a satire for the 60s and I just don't find it as enjoyable. Maybe I'm getting jaded. Need new movies please.
