Jean-Luc Godard's A Woman is a Woman is screening Monday, September 2, at 11:00am, at The Vista, Los Feliz.
Although moviemakers have endlessly cribbed from him ever since, Jean-Luc Godard and his movies are still wells to which all people who want to make truly daring experimental works that genuinely play with the cinematic form should go back to, to replenish their inspiration.
A Woman is a Woman is Godard’s fascinating playful take on the movie musical starring two of his greatest actors, Anna Karenina and Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Now of course, with the hindsight of time, the story itself is a bit of a jaw dropper. A French stripper wants to become a Mom. Her boyfriend is ambivalent but suggests she sleeps with his best friend. She decides to accept.
