WEEKEND (VERSION FRANAISE) [IMPORT]

Details

• Release Year: 1968
• Genre: Drama; Foreign
• Plot: This dark, comic, apocalyptic vision of the end of capitalist society is a raucous and biting satire on consumerism as well as Godard's personal vision of hell reflecting the chaos and turmoil of the late 1960's.; ; Despite their often-expressed desire to kill one another, a shamelessly greedy and nasty Parisian couple, Corinne and Roland, set out for a visit to her parents' home in the country. En route, the scheming bourgeois couple encounter an appallingly funny progression of traffic jams, burning cars, and cannibalistic revolutionaries.; ; One of the key films of the French New Wave, this frequently outrageous work mixes sex, slapstick, violence, and political rhetoric to create an epic vision of the decline and fall of consumer society as it destroys itself into auto wrecks.
