As you may or may not know, I’ve been on a road trip with my very good friend Jeff since Monday of last week. 

That seems like as good an excuse as any to highlight this legendary 7-minute track shot (without any cuts) from Jean-Luc Godard’s 1967 film Weekend.  Weekend, by the way, was probably the last worthwhile film made by Godard before he became just another irrelevant Marxist with a film crew.

I have to admit that this scene takes some patience if you’re not familiar with Godard’s 1960s aesthetic but let me ask you this?  Do you love me?  If you love me, you’ll watch this scene and stick with it to the end.  The punch line isn’t totally unexpected but it does rank as one of Godard’s most effective attacks on the bourgeois value system.
