1966, J-L Godard
Use of detectuve tropes; as in 'Detective', using conventions rather than constructing a story
character standing out, using costume, from backdrop
space created quickly, economically, with hard lighting immediately showing not 'real' noir
non continuity of space, more crucially of setting (different coloured walls etc)
really quite funny at points, with obtrusive occurences
as always, use of sound to make Brechtian gestures (also in the narrations)
demonstrating chaos of detective conventions
move to study of the film as possibly political
saying that it is not political immediately recognises it as based there
shows lack of sense/ coherence (overlapping dialogue)
one of the more fun of Godard's to watch, as always, much to study
