Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A MARRIED WOMAN
Une femme mariée, fragments d’un film tourné en 1964 en noir et blanc
Synopsis
Charlotte aimlessly drifts between morning affairs with the artistic Robert and mundane evenings with her paternalistic husband Pierre. Unsure of whether she loves either man, Charlotte discovers she is pregnant and must come to terms with her emotional infidelities.

Our take
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.
