Regarding the scene of the descent down the Champs-Élysées, Raymond Cauchetier recounts Jean-Luc Godard’s idea: ‘He’d come up with the idea of hiding the cameraman in a Post Office delivery trolley, with a hole cut in the front, so that he could film the actors whilst shouting their lines to them as discreetly as possible.’
