“PURE CINEMA!”
—Cahiers du Cinéma

“An intoxicating expression of that devotion, and of the idea, more liberating then than now, that movie love was the stuff that movies could be made of.”
—The New York Times

“The grande folie of Godard’s early career.”
—J. Hoberman

Angela (Anna Karina) wants a baby; her boyfriend Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy) does not. So, what’s a girl to do? Turn to Émile’s best friend, Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo), of course. A witty and anarchic send-up to — and deconstruction of — the American musical, complete with a Michel Legrand score, playful cinematic in-jokes, and loads of vibrant color captured by the legendary Raoul Coutard. In short: pure Godard.
