Pierrot le Fou, a film by Jean-Luc Godard
Now, I've been waiting and waiting and missing and missing and paying and paying the fines for the missed holdings from the Vancouver Public Library for - no jokes - A YEAR AND HALF !!!!!! GUGHGHGUGHGHUGHGHG. So you don't understand my ecstatic joy when I finally picked it up and held the DVD case in my fingers yesterday. I plucked it in my DVD player right after my dinner... What history paper !??!?!?!!
Starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina, it's obviously a must-watch. It's also one because it's one of the last movies that actually - somewhat - made sense in reality that Godard made before moving on to more radical film projects.
The whole movie is surreal and heavy; actually, it is enjoyable because of such a contradiction. Imagine learning about midlife crisis and the difficulties of marriage that happened because of money, not love, while it being super realistic. EW. It'll just be the bitterness that Blue Valentine gives you at the end, when all the optimistic thoughts you caged inside yourself crumbles in an instant. Only emptiness. But Pierrot le Fou is different !!!!!!!!
Ferdinand (referred as Pierrot by Marianne throughout the whole movie for some reason) ESCAPES !! His boring married life + posh Parisian society to Southern France.. the Mediterranean !!!!!!!!!! They are on the run, chased by stupid French police and lead a criminal lives. They are also chased by hitmen from somewhere else. Accompanied by comic strips and pop art cuts and many political satirical scenes, this movie is PERFECT. I LOVE IT FROM THE PERIPHERALS TO THE INNER CORE !!!!!
It makes one laugh, giggle, hum, quietly smile, scoff, and sit there thinking WHAT THE FUCK. Lots of beautiful clothes, nature, people, and the language is just beautiful. I was meant to be alive in the 60s-
