A 1982 film by Jean-Luc Godard ; the second full-length film made during his return to relatively mainstream filmmaking in the 1980s.

Set in winter in Switzerland, it is about the making of an ambitious art film that uses re-creations of classical European paintings as tableaux vivants, set to classical European music. Only incomplete scenes of the film within the film are shown, because it has no settled plot and never gets finished. While making it, the crew become involved in various ways with the locals, some of whom are recruited as extras.
