Godard's latest installment, subtitled The Children of Marx and Coca-Cola, is a cubistic jigsaw-puzzle picture of the go-go generation. In his usual abrupt abstract style, Godard scatters the screen with dissociated pieces of plot: a Marx-marked high school dropout (Jean-Pierre Leaud) meets and mates a Coke-stoked rock-'n'-roll belter (Chantal Goya), but not long after dies in an absurd accident, leaving the girl to face an amateur abortion performed with a curtain rod.

Coca-Cola is the universal symbol of Americanization, but it was the distribution, merchandising and advertising techniques of the American company-not the fact that the drink made one feel American or implied admiration for the U.S.-that made it so. It is hardly a triumph of culture that an American...
