...CARABINIERS. When he is not behaving like a brat, Director Jean-Luc Godard can be quite grown up, as he once demonstrated with Breathless and now shows again with this dry, abrasive antiwar film that is at once a satire of post-war Europe and a subtle dissection of aggression...
...Pompidous entertain frequently, both at large receptions at the Matignon and at dinner parties for twelve in their apartment, where Pompidou holds forth on everything from his favorite nouvelle vague film director (Jean-Luc Godard) to his favorite poet (Baudelaire, whose work he never reads "without emotion").

Again, he is played by Jean-Pierre Leaud, the juvenile star of The 400 Blows. The new project, The Siren of Mississippi, is to be yet another salute to American cinema, a story of mail-order romance starring Catherine Deneuve and Jean-Paul Belmondo...
