The cinematography, overseen by perennial Godard collaborator Raoul Coutard, had rarely looked more breathtaking—not only is the camera finally still (his earlier films were often shot on hand-held cameras), but the angles are expertly measured to give a messy apartment and a Mediterranean horizon the same sense of space...
