Jean-Luc Godard's (Breathless) scathing late ‘60s satire is one of cinema's great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance, a petit-bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous centerpiece single take of an endless traffic jam, Weekend is a surreally funny and deeply disturbing expression of social oblivion that ended the first phase of Godard's career. D: Jean-Luc Godard, France, subtitled, 1967, 104m
