A Woman Is a Woman
Jean-Luc Godard – The Spirit of the Forms
October 9 - 31, 2013
Presented in 35mm!
Godard’s third film is a thing of great beauty, a “neorealist musical” (with a score by Michel Legrand) about a woman (Anna Karina) who wants to have a baby with the man she lives with (Jean-Claude Brialy) but who turns to his friend (Jean-Paul Belmondo). A richly colored, funny, and moving film about one of Godard’s great subjects: being a couple.

A richly colored, funny, and moving film about one of Godard’s great subjects: being a couple.
