The director has given up treatment~

A rare viewing experience. The first 30 minutes are interesting, the irritable traffic jam scene is exaggerated and then presented in a long shot of 7 minutes, it becomes very interesting and makes the audience very cool; the next 30 minutes is absurd and even religious. ; The two tried their best to move towards the destination, changing cars without a bottom line, grabbing a car and taking a ride on foot, passing through various tragic car accident scenes, with scenes of crazy philosophers intertwined, reminiscent of Dante's Divine Comedy and the like The religious story makes one wonder where the director wants to take us. The last 30 minutes were boring and disgusting. The lengthy political declaration made me suddenly realize that this is not a sacred or joking story, but a catharsis of the director's personal bad taste. The scenes of eating people, killing pigs, etc., deepened this feeling.
I give 8 points because there are indeed some good elements in the film, and the unmodified footage, decadent tones, and some strong contrasting color combinations may present the real social scene in France in the 1960s.
