Godard dedicated this film to his cinematic muses Nicholas Ray and Sam Fuller, who “raised me to respect image and sound,” which is primarily what it has going for it. While the story is a mess and the characters quickly reveal themselves as simple political types, Godard wraps them in sumptuous color imagery that pops off the screen like a Warhol lithograph. Star Anna Karina cruises from scene to scene in various brightly colored ensembles that work in tandem with a succession of garish, primary-color backgrounds, which keeps your eyes distracted enough to keep you from realizing that none of it really coheres.
