I have been put off by some of his films because of this (2 or 3 things I know about her, helas pour moi & a lot of film: socialsme). Some of them are very hard to sit through. He is a very cynical man & that brushes off in almost all of his work. Still he is very, very compelling & his best work has a lot of heart in it. Godard, despite his many flaws, has blown me away much more than any other filmmaker has. It's a shame you don't get enjoyment out of him, but that's the way he is. You love him or hate him.
