Dir. Jean-Luc Godard. 1967, 87 mins. 35mm. With Joseph Gehrard, Marina Vlady, Anny Duperey. Paris today: High-rise buildings, anonymous living, and casual prostitution as symbols of capitalist decline; the benevolent dictatorship of the consumer society enforces performance and the “selling” of self so that one may live well. Godard’s whispered philosophical comments on the film’s action introduce further elements of sophisticated ambiguity.
