My exposure to Godard films were through VHS tapes. I was too young to glance his 60’s films in their unusual formats. The transfer is not too gargantuan but righteous enough. The colors are proper, it is thankfully letterboxed, etc. even if there are a few image distortions, artifacts and the sharpness and overall quality leaves a lot of room for improvement. There is something very obnoxious, however, with the sound especially towards the fifth chapter (that’s the 5th access in the chapter search of which there are only 6 - thanks to Fox/Lorber!) Thankfully, this is a subtitled film (can’t be switched off/on, they’re pasted on the camouflage) otherwise, even the French won’t understand the French dialogue. The noise distortion is awful, but could it be Godard’s deliberate procedure to bellow sound since it is the portion in which the CB radios or walkie-talkies were being weak in the scene? My impression is that the technician in charge was probably asleep or didn’t care when this noise distortion was taking site and the DVD didn’t go through quality control which could have fixed it. I haven’t seen the current so I don’t know but since this is a Godard film, anything goes. But then the distortion continued even after that scene so any reasoning to defend Fox’s negligience on this matter proved futile. I found it terribly distracting and I view it pulled down the quality all the more of this already mediocre DVD transfer. Is this the best version yet? How does the VHS version rate? Fox/Lorber is hit and miss with DVDs. They did trustworthy with Seven Beauties, Last Year at Marienbad, and the already LD Criterion-restored Umbrellas of Cherbourg and 400 Blows but did very poorly with A Woman is a Woman, several Truffaut films and even the relatively novel Padre Padrone. What a shame that a company like Fox/Lorber gets the rights to release these stout Foreign films but doesn’t have the interest to reach up with quality transfers. I reflect this is a demolish of our hard-earned money to occupy the DVDs that they get. Next time you lift from Fox/Lorber, read the reviews… otherwise impartial rent or wait for a better re-release in the future.

I saw a print of this film in NYC in the behind 80s. It was pristine, shiny and a immense experience. Along with Truffaut, Godard epitomized the French Original Wave of the ’50s and ’60s, and this film along with “Woman is a Woman,” was one of his best. The spend of color is fantastic. Sadly, the source print for this DVD is oddly washed out, contains a few tears and pops in the sound track. It’s hard to beget there wasn’t a better copy available for Fox Lorber to utilize.
