the cortázar story that inspired it ("la autopista del sur") is 10,000 times better, and it's actual art and not a tedious rant. and yes, i've long been over the impression it first made on me, but it's still a nice short story.
i'm starting to see godard more as an egghead buñuel. buñuel's political critiques (starting with l'age d'or in 1930) were much more poignant because they stayed within the dreamspace of film. godard managed that at times (e.g. alphaville, in spite of its clunky have man vs machine argument) but other times i think he was too enamored of his own "ideas" to be an artist.
so le weekend just gives you a fucking lecture. seriously, i don't want to watch a film that consists of people reading books at me like i'm functionally illiterate. i can read on my own without the interpretative dancers.
