The 1964 drama A Married Woman (or Une Femme Mariée in its native France) an often overlooked early work from French New Waver Jean-Luc Godard’s (Breathless) most productive period.
Macha Méril is A Married Woman
The plot appears to be simple: Charlotte (Macha Méril) is a young married woman having an affair with an actor. When she discovers that she is pregnant, she must decide which man is the father and which man she will stay with. In Godard’s hands, however, the film, which has been described as “a film about a woman’s beauty and the ugliness of her world,” is also a biting critique of consumer culture and the media constructed obsession with image.
Subtitled Fragments of a film shot in 1964, in black and white, Godard creates a modernist collage that is beautifully shot by his longtime cinematographer, the great Raoul Coutard (Weekend).
The Cohen Film Collection’s edition of the film is presented for the first time in the U.S. from the original negative.
