After watching it, it is more understandable why late Godard was so profoundly influenced by Anne-Marie Mieville, after whom Godard succeeded in connecting his romanticism with Marxism.
This movie is full of directorial force exposition (it's really annoying to write a screenplay), interspersed with a huge screen of a human figure, which seems to be a slight homage to the hand in "Carmen of the Fame".
The famous line "I want to see, not write" makes Godard's film more towards an essential video art, and the monologue at the end is as deeply moving as a line from "Pierrot the Madman".
The English subtitles keep disappearing, and many of Godard's metaphors overlap with Bazin's.
