Pierrot Le Fou
Jean Luc Godard pushed the boundaries of cinema to new limits with the bold and innovotive Breathless in 1960. Five years later he took it even further with the audacious and bizarre Pierrot Le Fou, a film he claimed to tell the story of the last romantic couple.
The picture is another fine example of Godard's preocupation with politics, American cinema and violence (in this case the looming Vietnam War) which concentrate more on feeling, mood and technique rather than an orderly plot. This approach allows a constant and feverish stream of cameos, gags, bold ideas and stylish set pieces. It's an anarchical film where he tries to do everything but the fact that it holds together and manages to balance the relation between popular and high culture confirms Godard as a true virtuoso of cinema. Belmondo and Anna Karina are as good as ever and the colours look fantastic. -

Pierrot Le Fou - Strange film, strange presentation
My 1st Godard film, possibly my last. Belmondo faces camera and says 'we are made of dreams, and dreams are made of us.' If that kind of thing appeals to you, salut.
Maybe it was way over my head, but I got virtually nothing out of this film.
Initially quite entertaining and off-the-wall, it just drifted into meaninglessness to my mind.
You can select the english overdub, or subtitles, and I notice that often totally different lines are said in each version, which is weird. A couple of times they break into song, and this is not dubbed, so I mainly used subs, which often make no sense. The woman's acting on the dub track is appalling anyway, a real distraction.
The commentary track tops it off. The guy, some professor or summat, says things like 'With Godard there is such harsh realism - talking of love while eating toast.' Eh? -
