...film ends, it is easy to convince yourself (post-hypnotically of course) that you have just seen a work of art. The story of these two unremembering individuals has been woven together so well with the greater story of the horrors of war that, while you are under the spell, you can scarcely tell one from the other...
...obvious advantage is the design of the Vietnamese fishing boats that carry most of the murderous contraband. Over the centuries, Viet fishermen have learned to bottom their boats in bamboo. The intricately woven basket hulls of their fishing junks-some of them more than 100 feet long-keep out the water and yet can slide over the craggiest reef without rupturing; on sandbars, the bamboo weave spreads and flattens to prevent broaching...

You see, Simone, "femininity" is not just some poetic veil of man's invention, woven to trick ladies into washing dishes and minding babies. A woman isn't just a man with a dress hung on him. A woman (and Godard's film saturates an imbeclic title with frightening profundity) is a woman...
