I've studied Godard and this WeekEnd farce was a disaster. First, it had a lot of uncredited resources and actors (Jeanne-Pierre LÄ—aud). It is not of his silly French New Wave ethos; it's mean and garbled with no reward. Nobody to identify with because everyone from referenced historical society to the film actors themselves. Just boring as hell. I had to FF through much of the latter third, starting with the nonsensical cannibal scenes. And then there was the rabbit scene, the hog scene, and the chicken scene... That's as far as I got.
This is a corny film with obligatory violence and shock value. Godard was trying to be relevant and he ended up being repulsive and hateful.
You can not justify killing those animals being filmed for shock value. You just can't.
