A WOMAN IS A WOMAN
UNE FEMME EST UNE FEMME
1961,
Rialto,
85 min,
France,
Dir: Jean-Luc Godard
Anna Karina, an afternoon stripper in the crummy Zodiac Club, yearns for motherhood, but live-in boyfriend Jean-Claude Brialy "isn’t ready yet," while hanger-on Jean-Paul Belmondo is more than happy to oblige. Godard’s first film in color and ’Scope, and his nearest approximation of a musical, with cinematic in-jokes and anarchic humor galore. In French with English subtitles.
