Description
(A Married Woman). A young married woman splits her time between her aviator husband and an actor/lover in Godard’s surprisingly racy critique of the artificiality of modern sexuality, “an update of Madame Bovary in the age of Roland Barthes” (James Quandt). Considered a key link between playful early Godard and his more challenging future interrogations, the film jumps from one fragment to another—an interview, a montage of fashion covers, a sex scene, etc.—to capture how women are constantly told how to act, look, and feel. It was “recommended for banning” by the French Censure Commission.• Written by Godard. Photographed by Raoul Coutard. With Macha Meril, Bernard Noël, Philippe Leroy, Roger Leenhardt. (94 mins, In French with English electronic titling, B&W, 16mm, BAM/PFA Collection, permission Gaumont)
