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. -

Surreal and pretentious
The director and script-writer were obviously having fun mixing advertisement-like clips and dialogue with unrelated pretentious pseudo-philosophical utterances interspersed with shock-inducing scenes of dead bodies. A mess of a film. It might have seemed clever and ground-breaking in the 60s, but now it's just boring. I gave up after about 40 mins.
