The film borrows the plot from the opera "Carmen". The beautiful and attractive Carmen and her gang of gangsters meet the guard Joseph in the bank robbery. During the fight, the two fall in love. After that, Joseph obsessively follows the Carmen gang to the seaside villa. , and returned to Paris, indifferent to their crimes. But soon Carmen lost interest in Joseph, and Joseph couldn't bear the emotional shattering. In an action directed by the Carmen gang, Carmen was shot... And outside the main line of the entire movie, from the beginning of the film, the Carmen gang was for the last time. Carmen found the director's uncle in the mental hospital to discuss the details of the filming, and then in the subsequent episodes, the uncle and Carmen's partners discussed the filming from time to time, so that the filming finally started in the restaurant, and the Carmen gang was revealed. Their actions attempted to loot the restaurant by filming.
The plot of this film is relatively simple and clear, not as obscure, unpredictable and elusive as Godard in the past. Godard also made a cameo appearance as an uncle, a clue character. The film also revolves around the golden lion obtained from Bertolucci and the sudden resignation of Adjani in the middle of the filming. Back in the film, the biggest attraction is the soundtrack and environment interspersed, such as the tide of the sea, the continuous stream of highway and train lights at night, and a chamber orchestra rehearsing the Beethoven quartet for the filming. These real voices traverse the screen incessantly, seemingly unrelated, but they are transformed into elements of the story in the development of the plot. And in the whole transformation process, she always analyzes the character's mentality and the foreshadowing of the tragic fate, especially Carmen's enthusiasm, loneliness, and the fate that has long been decided, seems to be frozen in her too calm dialogue: " If you love me, it's the end of you."
