    Jean Luc Godard と Anna Karina のおのろけ映画って言われちゃうくらい、funnyでcute、charmingな映画。  Godardお馴染みの引用シーンで大好きなものが1つ。Alfred de Mussetの格言劇 「戯れに恋はすまじ」の科白をAnna Karinaが。 > " 男はみんな嘘つきで、浮気で、見下げはてたものであり情感の奴隷だ。女はすべて裏切り者で、滑稽で、物見高くて性根が腐っている。人は恋愛ではいくたびとなく欺かれ、傷つけられ、不幸になる。しかし人は愛するのだ。そして自分の墓穴のふちまで来た時、こしかたを振り返り独り言を言うのだ、わたしは度々苦しんだ、時には考え違いもした、しかしわたしは愛した。" I believe that all the girls would love this movie ♡

"Émile" is nothing if not considerate, though, so suggests that maybe she do the deed with his best pal "Alfred" (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and that way everyone is happy. It's f…
