Description

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 bourgeoisie behind. Yet this is no normal road trip: genius auteur Jean-Luc Godard’s tenth feature in six years is a stylish mash-up of consumerist satire, politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple.” With blissful color imagery by cinematographer Raoul Coutard and Belmondo and Karina at their most animated, Pierrot le fou is one of the high points of the French New Wave, and was Godard’s last frolic before he moved ever further into radical cinema. New, restored high-definition digital transfer, approved by cinematographer Raoul Coutard (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition) New video interview with actor Anna Karina A “Pierrot” Primer, a new video program with audio commentary by filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin Godard, l’amour, la poésie, a fifty-minute French documentary about director Jean-Luc Godard and his work and marriage with Karina Archival interview excerpts with Godard, Karina, and actor Jean-Paul Belmondo Theatrical trailer New and improved English subtitle translation PLUS: A booklet featuring a new essay by critic Richard Brody, a 1969 review by Andrew Sarris, and a 1965 interview with Godard
