Pierrot Le Fou

Tip from Laura

Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo are one of the most beautiful and sadistic couples in blue, white and red film history. You should have seen it at least once.

"Film is like a battleground. Love. Hate. Action. Violence. Death. In one word: Emotion." A legendary phrase in film history, uttered by Sam Fuller, who appears here as a (party) guest in his French colleague's film. And Godard does his best to live up to this dictum when he sends the last romantic couple, Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo, on a murderous journey reminiscent of Bonnie & Clyde: a journey south, a journey through cinema, painting, literature and music, a journey above all through the colours blue and red. The nouvelle vague classic par excellence. (Helmut Pflügl)
