If you are celebrated auteur Jean-Luc Godard, it\\u2019s the 1960s, and your cranking out about 7 movies a year, the odds are strong that there\\u2019s going to be some winners and losers in the mix. \\xa0And the question today is whether or not this picaresque travel film about a \\xa0married couple (played by Jean Yanne and Mireille Darc) braving the traffic jam, car crash, and cannibal-strewn French countryside to murder a family member in get their inheritance early is a good one or a bad one. \\xa0It\\u2019s even more to the point of the film that the central premise is actually whether or not the film itself is good or bad. \\xa0And then it comes down to the point of whether or not the premise about whether or not the film is good is a good premise or not. \\xa0Merry Christmas!

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing\\xa0Krzysztof Kie\\u015blowski\\u2019s\\xa0Three Colours: Blue\\xa0(1993).
