Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, Weekend is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society reverting to savagery, and鈥� according to the credits鈥攖he end of cinema itself.91抖淫 Nature鈥檚 Underworld Film SeriesNature鈥檚 Underworld Film Series features both popular Hollywood cinema and experimental works that examine humankind鈥檚 strained relationship with the environment.
