 | Description: | This scathing late-sixties satire from Jean-Luc Godard (BREATHLESS) is one of cinema's great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous centerpiece sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, WEEKEND is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society retreating to savagery, and - according to the credits - the end of cinema itself."Weekend," available on Blu-Ray from Criterion, is a groundbreaking 1967 film directed by the legendary Jean-Luc Godard. This darkly satirical road movie follows a bourgeois couple as they journey through the French countryside, encountering chaos and societal collapse along the way. The film is renowned for its innovative narrative style, bold political commentary, and surreal imagery that cemented Godard's reputation as one of cinema?s most influential auteurs. Criterion?s edition offers a meticulously restored transfer with insightful bonus features that delve into the making and legacy of this cult classic.
