A WOMAN IS A WOMAN

Special Features: New 4K Restoration

[UNE FEMME EST UNE FEMME]
With BREATHLESS a smash hit and his second film, the Algeria-haunted THE LITTLE SOLDIER, blocked by French censors, Jean-Luc Godard did what any protean talent would do: he went and made a Cinemascope color musical! Exotic dancer Angela (Anna Karina) longs for a child, and when her boyfriend Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy) balks at the idea, she begins to court his friend Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo) for the job. With many a wink and a nudge — often directly to the camera — a handful of in-jokes about Godard and François Truffaut’s burgeoning careers, a cameo by Jeanne Moreau and music by Michel Legrand, the film glides by on its ample charm and effervescence. As Godard himself put it, "It's not a musical — it's the idea of a musical." DIR/SCR Jean-Luc Godard; PROD Georges de Beauregard, Carlo Ponti. Italy/France, 1961, color, 84 min. In French with English subtitles. NOT RATED
