Jean-Luc Godard returns to the podcast with a stylish and cunning expos\\xe9 of modern French man. \\xa0Or rather, a study of how women deal with the intransigent, petulant, sometimes comical, and always fragile masculinity of the perpetually dissatisfied narcissists that demand their attentions. \\xa0Two such long-suffering women are played by Nathalie Baye and Isabelle Hubert as entirely pragmatic and fully self-aware Parisian women coping with the surprisingly similar needs of lovers, pimps, johns, and\\u2026 cattle.
