Essential Cinema  Godard in the ‘80s

There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

Godard’s “second first film” stars Jacques Dutronc as a filmmaker newly separated from his partner, Nathalie Baye. As both try to find their footing, a sex worker (Isabelle Huppert) enters their lives. Godard’s filmmaking is razor sharp here, and his obsessions come across loudly and clearly. This is filmmaking that is both lucid and enigmatic. In 35mm.
