Plot

A descendant of Shakespeare tries to restore his play after a disaster, in Godard's fragmentary, sometimes baffling film.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jean-Luc Godard's film, with Burgess Meredith, Molly Ringwald and Norman Mailer, is playful, obscure and for devotees.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
