Sloth

MOVIE #1,982 • SCORE 8/10 • 09.20.24
SERIES: JEAN-LUC GODARD DIRECTOR FOCUS

This 15-minute short is actually from a French anthology film based on the seven deadly sins. Godard is the most famous name on this project but the whole thing was probably worth watching (WHO HAS THE TIME THOUGH?).

Actor Eddie Constantine plays himself and he’s so lazy he can barely tie his own shoes let alone have sex with a pretty young starlet, exhibiting "a sloth so strong that it overwhelms the other sins" AKA morality. A brilliant tongue-in-cheek joke from JLG.
