Made in U.S.A.

French auteur experimented with cinema again with this film where he broke all the rules he could. It's a puzzling piece of film that can be as shallow as a comic book or deep as social and political commentary depends on what you can decipher. There's tons of references and homages to historical events or people that Godard admired. From American directors and actors to political figures and events. It stars his stunning wife Anna Karina and features some stunning visuals here and there. Godard always mixed art, fashion and political references in his films to some degree or other. What he did was more art than a movie, subject to discussion and study than entertainment. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
