The reason i liked the Godard short is that it builds up the story (whatever story there is) through inconsequential conversations a la Rohmer, and the viewer knows that the two girls met the same man, though they do not know this. A rather nice conceit. Neither does Patrick know that he is fishing for two flatmates. The viewer is the only one aware of the repetitions. It isn't a short to make the top ten perhaps, but a charming wisp of a tale with a fine structure.
