    And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful house"
    And you may tell yourself, "This is not my beautiful wife"
    Letting the days go by, let the water hold me down

    ★★★★½

    Lost characters wander a post-structuralist wasteland. Its feral (having escaped from domestication to become wild) shifts in plot, tone, and style, quotations of text and culture, car pileups, crime, body count, class revolution, and screwball comedy cemented that my wife HATES Godard’s work of this era as much as I adore it.

    Crime-thriller-in-a-single-take is a technical wonder

    ★★★★

    Thought experiment:  what’s a good reason to try to kill a bunch of children? This taut English sci-fi story (The Midwich Cuckoos) and slow-burn screen adaption suggest a sinister one.
