Godard's most straightforward narrative?


Is this Godard's most straightforward narrative film in the 60s era, or am I wrong? It does seem to have pretty fast moving (in Godard terms) causal plotline, does it not?

At least compared to Une Femme and A Bout de Souffle this doesn't make nearly as many narrative (causal) digressions as the two former, or am I "reading" this movie complety wrong?

I dunno, I think all his films from the 60's are pretty straightforward, but I'd say Contempt is probably his most straightforward and simple tale, with Band of Outsiders following it.

But yeah, this movie rules.
