This film is just a hipster version of a Wes Anderson flick, Jim Jarmusch crams all his fetish objects and topics into a self-indulgent mess. Seeing Tilda Swinton (I think?) put all those book in her suitcase made me a bit nauseous.

I hate Week-end with a burning passion, simply quoting Bataille and Lautréamont doesn't mean anything when you can't make their thoughts interesting in an original manner. Furthermore the awareness with which Godard approaches communism is, quite obviously, since the whole film is dedicated to it, way more sophisticated in La Chinoise. Pierrot le Fou is simply more fun and Vivre Sa Vie is genuinely touching.

Godard is probably the filmmaker who found the most effective way to combine pretentiousness and vapidness. Week-end actually made me nauseous with its infinite catalogue of allusions which never penetrate beneath a naive superficiality. Quotes from Bataille and Lautréamont don't actually make your film worthwhile if you can't offer any commentary or create context which would give them a deeper meaning.
