„A girl and a rifle, that’s all you need for a film, says Godard. So a girl and a corpse in the boot is more than enough.

The number of characters in his humorous film is kept to a minimum: a girl and her boyfriend (who is already dead). The director tasted the indestructible genre of the roadmovie and more than fulfilled his promise.“
