Charlotte and Her Boyfriend

Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Produced by Les Films de la Pléiade

A lighthearted, farcical short about romantic confusion and mixed signals, built on physical comedy and verbal sparring between an ex-couple.

This short features a man who is visited by his ex-lover. The moment she arrives, the man starts his constant barrage of speech; the woman doesn't say much. She just mocks the man and pretends she isn't listening. She pulls faces at him and larks about; while the man is trying his best to get her back in his life, then in the next sentence he says he hates her.
