In this very loose adaptation of Bizet’s opera Carmen (with a few nods to Otto Preminger’s film CARMEN JONES), Godard shows us a chaotically fraught bank heist plan that goes characteristically off the rails. Maruschka Detmers plays the young Carmen, and Godard himself plays her cranky filmmaker uncle.
