“I never dreamed of working on a movie, I always wanted to be a chemist. I was enrolled in a chemist school, but due to financial reasons, I was not able to attend the classes and I was therefore transferred to studying photography.”

    FIRST NAME: CARMEN

    JEAN-LUC GODARD France, 1983

    Godard stars as an eccentric filmmaker in this fragmentary love poem from his 1980s period. Loosely based on Bizet’s opera, First Name: Carmen reinvents cinema into elliptical broken rhythms and passages of poetry to renew one of the oldest of tales: that of two lovers on the run.

    A MARRIED WOMAN

    JEAN-LUC GODARD France, 1964

    Vigorously interrogating the commodification of femininity in consumerist culture, Jean-Luc Godard’s provocative masterwork is as stylistically adventurous as it is affecting. Far from a scintillating arrangement, adulterous love affairs are yet another symptom of bourgeois ennui and listlessness.
