Zukunftsmusik

I watched Godard's Weekend some time ago, and didn't really get it. The description on the cover was kinda deceiving so I didn't expect or wasn't in a mood for an "art" movie.
I guess the lack of a coherent story, action and the absurdity etc is a point in itself, as a break with bourgeois films. And I "got" the satirical points with the car queue taken to the absurd and the car crash where a rich man is killed and his hysterical wife/girlfriend cries "he's rich, now you've killed him!". But honestly, it was kinda difficult to follow the whole thing with the mood I was in, and the introduction with the analysis of the woman's dream (if it was a dream) - in addition to a lot of other things - seemed really out of place.
I feel like there were things I didn't "get" to understand the film fully. What to people here make of it? Or think of it?
