Godard, who once said, " All you need for a movie is fun and a girl," is one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th Century, and introduced many techniques that have improvised dialogue. Asked by a fellow filmmaker if he would at least admit that a film should have a beginning, middle and end, Godard replied, "yes but not necessarily in that order." Godard's influence can be seen in the work of many other directors, including Robert Altman, Martin Scorsese, Wim Wenders, and Quentin Tarantino.
During the Algerian war for independence from France, a young Frenchman living in Geneva who belongs to a right wing terrorist group and a young woman who belongs to a left wing terrorist group meet and fall in love. Complications ensue when the man is suspected by the members of his terrorist group of being a double agent.
