    I Love many of Godard`s films, because he does so much with very little to work with. In terms of Science Fiction films it has no special effects, it`s all done with filming Paris in such a way as to make it look fururistic.

    Criterion has never let me down yet, well Except for the Seven Samurai disc :)
