In 1967, Godard didn't covert from being a psychoanalytic filmmaker to being a Deleuzean filmmaker. He by no means had an overt or wide awake funding in psychoanalysis, and the communism he followed in 1967 was once in the direction of Mao than to Deleuze. still, the dramatic switch in his aesthetic displays a shift from a psychoanalytic method of a Deleuzean one. till Week-end, Godard’s movies nonetheless have a few funding in narrative constitution, yet this funding in narrative constitution accompanies a spotlight on sexual antagonism—that is, at the aspect at which romantic unions fail now not due to contingent or empirical motives yet end result of the opposing structural logics of these concerned.
