Pierrot le Fou
You've met the tame Godard, the love Godard, the think Godard, ...now meet the wild Godard!
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
Produced by DDL Cinematografica, Rome-Paris Films
A restless, formally inventive romance about escape and disillusionment that privileges style, ideas, and visual experimentation over narrative coherence.
Pierrot escapes his boring society and travels from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl chased by hit-men from Algeria. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run.
