>"A	bizarre,	surreal,	and	potent	antiwar	film,	Jean-Luc	Godard's
	LES	CARABINIERS	is	a	complex	
>tale	of	two	riflemen	who	travel	the	world	in	the	service	of
	"The	King."	Recruited	by	two

	wives,	Cleopatra	and	Venus,to

	innocent	victims	for	their	unseen	
>leader.	Full	of	the	innovative	editing	techniques	and
	intellectual	vigor	that	punctuates	
>almost	all	Godard's	films,	LES	CARABINIERS	finds	Godard	playing
	promiscuously	with	imagesand

	destructiveness	of	capitalism,	often	
>presenting	ideas	and	opinions	that	are	forgotten	almost	as	soon	as
	they	are	articulated.

with	Godard	going	to	great	lengths	to	develop	unsympathetic	characters
	and	distance	the	audience	from	the	on-screen	proceedings.	He
	purposely	shot	the	film	on	a	grainy	film	stock,	then	made	it
	even	grainier	in	the	processing,	yielding	an	old-newsreel
	effect	and	even	incorporating	actual	stock	footage	into	the	final
	film.	After	the	first	hour,	however,	comes	a	remarkable
	Eisensteinian	montage,	consisting	of	12	minutes	of
	"conquests"--the	postcard	sequence.	In	LES	CARABINIERS,	Godard
	succeeded	in	portraying	war	as	an	ugly	and	ignoble
	atrocity	in	a	manner	entirely	different	from	what	he	has
	called	"the	beautiful	Zanuckian	style."	If	LES	CARABINIERS
	cannot	be	called	a	compelling	dramatic	work,	the	film	represents
	a	liberating	step	beyond	cinematic	convention.
