    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The renowned author and critic Susan Sontag spoke about Jean-Luc Godard's film in her 1977 collection of essays "On Photography." About the "two sluggish lumpen-peasants" returning home bearing postcards of the treasures of the world instead of tangible treasure, Sontag noted that "Godard's gag vividly parodies the equivocal magic of the photographic image."
    • Quotes
      • [last lines]
      • Narrator: Henceforth the two brothers slept for an eternity, believing the brain, in decay, functioned beyond death, and its dreams are what constitute Paradise.
