France

T

Ferdinand is bored in his bourgeois cage—until Marianne suddenly walks in. “What do you want?” the characters ask each other, and answer in unison: “Everything.”. The lovers face escape from the mafia, murders both accidental and less so, a suitcase full of banknotes in the car boot, and a desert island.

Shot from Pierrot le Fou, 1965

At its exhilarating and poignant best, it proves that a film can play all sorts of postmodern games yet still touch its viewers’ emotions.

— Edward Porter, The Times

Godard juggles genres and tonalities to create a film that perfectly captures the 1960s in all their dizzying chaos.
