    I think this film is really affective at delivering a funny, heartwarming and dramatic story without any real dialogue, which is such a rarity for a popular animated film. I like the underlying existentialist themes of the story as well, it is done in such an straightforward not-too-on-the-nose way.

    Probably my favorite Godard thus far. It is honestly a fun comedy that still holds up today. Love the wacky editing, it's like all the best elements from Breathless turned up to 11. From the way the music randomly cuts out to the insane lighting it is really a chaotic film. Kind of a musical at some points which really fits the tone of the film well. I also liked all the reference to other FNW films like Shoot the Piano Player it is kinda insane how historical and influential this film is in a way.
