Pierrot le fou (A Requisite Cinema Showcase of Jean-Luc Godard) / France/ 1965/ Dir: Jean-Luc Godard/ 110 Min/ Current Rotten Tomatoes Score: 88%
Dissatisfied in marriage and life, Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) takes to the road with the babysitter, his ex-lover Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), and leaves the bourgeois world behind. Yet this is no normal road trip: the tenth feature in six years by genius auteur Jean-Luc Godard is a stylish mash-up of anticonsumerist satire, au courant politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple.” With blissful color imagery by cinematographer Raoul Coutard and Belmondo and Karina at their most animated, Pierrot le fou is one of the high points of the French New Wave, and was Godard’s last frolic before he moved ever further into radical cinema.
Pierrot le fou is playing as part of our REQUISITE CINEMA SHOWCASE of Jean-Luc Godard which will be running concurrently with Richard Linklater's ‘NOUVELLE VAUGUE’. Check our website for scheduling!
