...really have to be seen to be visualized. The idea of doing this subject in such an elegant and delicate media. complete with paper napkins, plaster milk, and on an ordinary cafeteria tray really strikes the literary more than the visual funny bone. And Arneson's gawky earthenware bathroom sink is so literary that it even has a punchline-the brown splotch in the bowl is labeled "hard to get out stain...

...Only a few years after their release, Godard films become museum pieces. His innovations are adopted by other film makers, who (like Haskell Wexler in the kinetic Medium Cool) either put his techniques to better dramatic use or (like Agnes Varda in the festival's ludicrous Lions Love) sink beneath the weight of aimless stylistic decoration. Le Go/ Savoir features Jean-Pierre Léaud and Juliet Berto sitting around a TV studio engaging in a lot of Mickey Mouse debate about linguistics and mouthing doses of Godard's peculiar politics (the FBI had Bobby Kennedy shot...
