| | Amazon.co.uk: Weekend [1967]: DVD: Mireille Darc,Jean Yanne,Jean-Luc Godard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | One interpretation of "Weekend" could be that it is simply a parody of French bourgois attitudes and values; its materialism, arrogance and indifference to others are subliminally lampooned throughout the film by Godard as a cast of class warriors, wandering philosophers, car-jackers and cannibal guerrillas expose the vapidity of the consumerist ideal. |
 | | However, for me, Weekend is something of a failure for the great filmmaker, as it fails to actually deliver on it's social and/or political agenda & instead, falls back on shock tactics, attention seeking gimmicks & needlessly confrontational ideals. |
 | | Weekend is still an interesting film, with strong visuals and an intricate and relevant social agenda... |
