Directed by: Jean-Luc Godard

Synopsis: Simple-minded brothers Ulysses (Marino Mase) and Michel-Ange (Albert Juross, later Patrice Moullet) join the army and have a grand time killing other soldiers, brutalizing civilians, etc.

Purr Blurs: As Venus (Genevieve Galea) performs one of her periodic checks for postcards at a rural mailbox, her shoulder-cat hops to the ground, emphasizing his descent with grumpy mews.

A kitten is also pictured in the extended postcard sequence.

Final Mewsings: The testy cat was disappointed because he didn’t receive a missive.
