Jean-Luc Godard | 1965 | 118 MINS
France/Italy | Subtitles
Dissatisfied in marriage and life, Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) takes to the road with the babysitter, his ex-lover Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), and leaves the bourgeois world behind.

In Detail

Ferdinand Griffon, married to a wealthy Italian wife, has recently been fired from the television station where he worked. Feeling bored at a bourgeois party, He meets Marianne, who was his mistress five years ago and insists on calling him Pierrot, and offers to take her home.

They spend the night together and he learns that she's involved in smuggling weapons. They decide to leave Paris and his family behind and go on the run, on a crazy journey to nowhere. A stylish mash-up of anti-consumerist satire, au courant politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple”.
