Godard's films are filled with digressions, in which characters give long speeches about politics and so forth. One of his recurrent themes is prostitution, which for him is a metaphor for capitalism (at least, that's my interpretation of it).
I guess the best way to approach Godard is to expect digressions in his storylines, along with jump-cutting, background music that stops and starts for no reason, and self-conscious filmmaking techniques (whether in staging, framing, lighting or camera moves) that make the viewer aware he's watching a movie.
