Une Femme Est Une Femme
With A Woman Is A Woman (Une Femme Est Une Femme), compulsively innovative director Jean-Luc Godard presents "a neorealist musical, that is, a contradiction in terms." Featuring French superstars Anna Karina, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Jean-Claude Brialy at their peak of adorability, A Woman Is A Woman is a sly, playful tribute to-and interrogation of-the American musical comedy, showcasing Godard's signature wit and intellectual acumen. The film tells the story of exotic dancer Angela (Karina) as she attempts to have a child with her unwilling lover Emile (Brialy). In the process, she finds herself torn between him and his best friend Alfred (Belmondo). A dizzying compendium of color, humor, and the music of renowned composer Michel Legrand, A Woman Is A Woman finds the young Godard at his warmest and most accessible, reveling in and scrutinizing the mechanics of his great obsession: the cinema.
