Trivialidades:

The character of Michel Poiccard uses the name Laszlo Kovacs as an alias. It is often wrongly assumed this was an homage to the cinematographer of the same name: the film was made long before Kovacs established himself in the movie industry. It was actually a reference to the character played by Jean-Paul Belmondo in Claude Chabrol's À double tour (1959), earlier the same year.

Errores:

Continuidad: When Michel steals the Ford, a shot shows Patricia wearing her cardigan as he arrives in the car. When she stands to get in the car the cardigan is now in her hands. Later when they pull up at the Herald Tribune offices, she gets out of the car holding the striped dress and the shoes she sill change into, but it has never been shown how these got into the car.

Citas:

[first lines]
Michel Poiccard: After all, I'm an asshole. After all, yes, I've got to. I've got to!

French New Wave for Dummies

This is the one that started it all kids, the daddy of post-modern cinema. MTV jump cuts, fractured soundtrack and images aplenty

Self reflexive to the point that it not only acknowledges its own existence, it revels in it.

All style and no substance is considered a bad thing today, unless its Tarantino. Well, if it wasn't for Godard, chances are there would be no QT.

All the characters and images, and dialogue and sets are constructed from all aspects of life - Michel is a Bogart collage. Patricia apes everything she sees, from her Interviewee's facial gestures to Michel's own.

Don't let all this technical mumbo fool you, I did my thesis on Godard and would happily bore the ass off you with a lecture in great detail about this film, but the fact is, it's a stormer.

Grips you by the throat and shakes the hell out of you, and it doesn't let go until the final breath.

Fantastically, artistically magnificent. If Godard wanted to make his debut picture to show how well he understood American ideals and the history of cinema, he couldn't have made a better picture.

Top stuff French guy.
