About this product

Product Information

French director Jean-Luc Godard's classic 1985 crime drama is another exhilarating display of storytelling and style from the New Wave master. The film works overtime, tying two distinct stories together to tell an even bigger tale. In the first, an unhappily married couple, Françoise and Emile Chenal (Nathalie Baye and Claude Brasseur, respectively), tries to collect a debt from a boxing manager who has ties to the mob. In the second, a hotel detective and his nephew, Inspector Neveu (Jean-Pierre Léaud), spend their time searching for clues that will solve a mysterious old murder. Along the way, the film follows the boxer, who's getting ready for the big fight, in addition to a variety of bizarre and comical characters that are also staying at the hotel. Godard uses this framework to present his own views on modern life, ranging from pornography to language to film itself. This is most highly evident in the film's closing credit sequence, which mentions the names of classic film directors John Cassavetes, Edward G. Ulmer, Clint Eastwood, and, of course, Godard himself. DÉTECTIVE's greatest asset is its assured blend of comedy, drama, and philosophical dialogue, keeping the audience guessing and engaged throughout. And, cinephiles, watch carefully to catch a glimpse of an adolescent Julie Delpy.

    The price was perfectly reasonable for the product, and the book arrived promptly and in great condition—like new, as described: the slightest bit of noticeable use and that was it. The seller wrapped it in literally 6 layers of protection (cardboard, bubble wrap, waterproof, etc.), which seemed like overkill but was much appreciated. My wife was so impressed that she demanded I leave a positive review immediately—and she was right. I’d be happy to do business with this seller again.

    The seller shipped the book quickly, tracked for added security and it arrived on time. Around 3 weeks which isn't bad at all. The book was exactly as advertised by the seller. I had no problem comunicating with the seller, he answered all my questions. He also packed the book very well so it wouldn't get damaged during shipping. It arrived as good as new. I'm very satisfied, the seller showed a very customer friendly /professional attitude. Hence my 5/5 positive feedback to him.
