Pierrot Le Fou Summary Jean-luc Godard Has Been Called The Most Self-conscious, The Most Realistic, And The Most Modern Of Filmmakers. To His Appreciators This Means He Owns Up To The Fact That A Movie Is A Movie, That At Any Moment In One Of His Films You Know You're Watching A Film By Jean-luc Godard. His Films Are Self-aware In A Way That Films Never Were Before Him. pierrot Le Fou Achieves A Rare Spontaneity And Naturalness, Largely Due To The Presence Of Jean-paul Belmondo And Anna Karina, But Also Because Of Godard's Willingness To Let Go Of Any Pretense To An Illusionary Or Mimetic Style, So-called "realism." What Story There Is Has Pierrot (belmondo) Escaping From His Boring Life Along With Marianne Renoir (karina), Who Is Chased By Gangsters. But This Is Just An Excuse To Film A Kind Of Essay To Lost Love, A Poem To Karina That Is Delightful. If "pierrot Goes Wild," Then So Does Godard, With Belmondo Standing In For Him In His Pursuit Of And Journey With Karina. Godard Is Not For Everyone, Admittedly, But For Those With The Wherewithal To Enjoy His Films, They Are Receiving New Life On Dvd. Whatever Coterie Taste Survives Today Has Been Distributed In Multiple Across The Internet And Via The Agency Of Video Rental Bins, Perhaps All The More Potent For That Reach. Let's Hope So. --jim Gay

Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a man who has married for money and is terribly disillusioned with his life. When forced to go to a dinner party he does not want to attend, he throws a temper tantrum and returns home early. When driving Marianne (Anna Karina), the babysitter, back home, they fall in love and decide to run away from Paris. They embark on a series of escapades that begins with running illegal arms for extra cash and runs the gamut: love, death, ennui, boat chases, murder, betrayal, revenge, lost cash, and almost anything else you can think of, and all with a sense of reality that is an interesting contrast to the typical American film. Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Alphaville) blends different genres with great success and achieves moments of cinematic poetry in this quasi-epic of modern malaise. Also a cameo by the Hollywood director Samuel Fuller is something to watch for. Be aware that Godard is for people seriously interested in cinematic art. --James McGrath
