Reviews and Quotes 2

"Godard's idea of a musical is, of course, the idea of a musical... It's the grande folie of Godard's early career."
— J. Hoberman

"An intoxicating expression of that devotion, and of the idea, more liberating then than now, that movie love was the stuff that movies
could be made of."
— A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"DELIRIOUSLY KOOKY!"
— Time Out New York
