Made in U.S.A.

A journalist, Paula Nelson, arrives in Atlantic City, France, at an unknown point in the near future, to look for her missing ex-boyfriend Richard Politzer. Her enquiries soon reveal that he is dead, murdered by an unknown assassin. Suspecting that Richard may have been the victim of political intrigue, Paula allies herself with gun-toting gangsters, shady police operatives and a writer of detective fiction to try to uncover the truth... The film is greatly inspired by the Howard Hawks film The Big Sleep. The 90 minute film has an infamously difficult to follow plot. Godard decided he would make a detective film with a deliberately incoherent narrative.
