Bourgeois society, having destroyed their sensibilities, must also be blamed for destroying a cinema whose method and meaning depended on those sensibilities. The violent attacks on the audience through presenting raw events, the meaninglessness of characters' actions, the blatant anti-capitalist propoganda of Weekend do not show Godard committing cinematic suicide. His integration of subject matter and approach demand this treatment.

...movie theatres show only Russian, Czechoslovakian, Hungarian, East German, and Bulgarian films. Lately, due to lack of public attendance, they have had to loosen up and show French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish films, always mixed in with news reels of government propoganda which no one applauds and which only serve to corroborate popular aversion to the government...
