Essential Cinema  Godard in the ‘80s

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

In this very loose adaptation of Bizet’s opera Carmen (with a few nods to Otto Preminger’s film CARMEN JONES), Godard shows us a chaotically fraught bank heist plan that goes characteristically off the rails. Maruschka Detmers plays the young Carmen, and Godard himself plays her cranky filmmaker uncle.
