Our take
Godard’s ‘60s films are legend, but his career went far beyond the French New Wave. Roundly condemned by the Vatican for its risky retelling of the Virgin Mary’s story, this is a highlight of his underrated ‘80s period, as cinema’s great experimenter refused to soften his provocative edge.
