As far as treats are concerned, Héloïse Godet is it in this maddeningly annoying 3-D movie. We men get to enjoy seeing her naked. And for the ladies there's a little bit of male full frontal nudity as well.
But there's no doubt the man is outshone by the resplendent Ms Godet who attended a screening at Roger Ebert's Film Festival this April 15th. She was gracious and as attractive as she is in the movie, but she related a surprising tale of never having seen the dog that shares a lot of footage with the actors in this movie. Add a couple of the other oddities here that I will keep to myself as they border on being spoilers and Godard's intent is clear.
I've never been to Paris, but I've heard again and again that people there don't pick up their dog's droppings. This movie is a clever and effective answer to those who wonder why dogs are allowed to dirty the city's streets with so much impunity. I can't say I'm not a bit swayed, but if it were up to me I'd have people love their dogs AND pick up after it.
Godard's argument is more substantial than you'd expect, but judging by the discussion of his film tonight, his attempt to educate us cretins is likely to be a wasted if audacious effort. Still, if you insist on seeing this movie, and if you will try to follow his argument, you just might enjoy it enough to not feel insulted.
