action
In search of the perpetrators of a robbery, Billy the Kid, dressed in striped trousers, moves through a sterile, constantly changing vest. He is supported by the suntanned girl Ann, who is dressed in blue eye make-up. "Of course there is also a donkey, because this is a western, with everything that goes with it, and this donkey is the only creature in the whole work of madness that keeps a clear head at all times."
criticism
Sam Adams described the film as “basically funny, Moullet achieves an unsettling distance from the action by shifting the familiar; At times the film causes Sartre's disgust by walking on side roads ”.
The Viennale on the occasion of a performance in 1998: “Luc Moullet chooses largely stereotypical material for the subject of his feature films and treats this in a way that, even if it has developed significantly since the first films, has essentially remained the same: an essentially 'matter ', almost vulgar humor, an incoherent, brittle narrative style full of jumps and ellipses that never really work, a marked contrast between the arbitrary plot and the, especially with AGirl Is a Gun, great landscape shots. "(Noël Burch)
Remarks
The film defies a narrative description of action. The director himself saw it as a cross between a duel in the sun and the ladies from the Bois du Boulogne .
Some critics point to the psychedelic soundtrack.
