Another unfunny joke from a post-Weekend Godard.

It's a multi-strand plot from the uniquely inquiring perspective of an innovative visual artist, at once rhetorical and beautiful; simply exquisite and daringly complex; reiteration of and enhancement of earlier triumphs. Godard owns every glorious shot of Detective, just as his masterly cast palpably embody their haunted, compromising, bargaining characters. Director and cast infuse the film with a potent sense of soul, aptly complementing Detective's arresting images and wicked wit. Wow!
