- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaLászló SzabóJean-Pierre LéaudIn the near future, leftist writer Paula goes from Paris to the French town of Atlantic-Cité when she learns of the death of a former colleague and lover, Richard P. Is she there to investigate? On the surface, faces are beautiful, colors bright, clothes trendy. Beneath, little is clear: some talk to Paula as if she's Alice in Wonderland, corpses pile up, and ideological struggles insert themselves. A murder victim's nephew and a political party's hired hands hover around Paula. Is obscuring things her goal or is it life that's obscure?Very strange and slow it took a while before action happend though i didn't like how it would spens 10 minutes talking too each other before moving on for me it bored me out quickly.
