Summary: The film tells the story of exotic dancer Angéla as she attempts to have a child with her unwilling lover Émile. In the process, she finds herself torn between him and his friend Alfred.
A sumptuous combination of wit, feeling and visual splendiferousness, Godard's A Woman is a Woman should be considered a paragon of romantic comedies. Complementing his remarkably frank ruminations on male/female interactions with exceptional pictorial artistry, he ensures his film not only resembles a sly, fun ode to complex human romance but a work of true aesthetic accomplishment. Freeze-frame at any time and you'll see a beautiful image staring back at you, whether Karina's on-screen or not!
Both clever and entertaining tribute to/meditation on American musicals, women, love and everything else... and clearly the funniest film Godard has ever made.
I found Godard's experimental approach to editing, and in particular the soundtrack, to be overzealous and extremely trying of my patience. Why create an experience so jarring and discomfiting for the viewer, if there is no reward on offer? I've nothing against paper-thin, circular stories where nothing happens except for a bit of Gallic ooh-la-la and vivre sa vie. But all the artistic choices in this film seem to work against each other in preventing a environment that welcomes the film viewer.
kadin, adam, bebek istemek, dans, striptizci (Bir gece kulübünde striptizci olan Angela, bir kitapci da calisan Emile ile ayni evde evde yasamaktadir. Angela, Emile'den bir cocuk sahibi olmak istemektedir. Emile, ise bu ise hic niyetli görünmemektedir. Bu istek iliskilerini cikmaza sokar. Angela, Alfred adinda baska bir adam ile Emile'i kıskandırmaya calisir. Müzikleri cok yorucu... Bir kac güzel espri var. Onun disinda pek begenmedim)
I'm pretty torn here. Until this film, I've loved all the Godard I've seen. This one however just seems to be saying women are irrational and shameless. There's a lot to love here, especially the use of color, it's really a visual orgy. But the editing is so chaotic. Unfortunately, and what really did the film in for me, the plot kind of drags and winds up repeating itself constantly. Worth a look.
At first the chaos was rather confusing, but it doesn't take long to warm up to the utter silliness of the whole thing. A highly strange and unique comedy.
It's better than some of Godard's other films from this time period due to the compelling actors and the obvious fun they're having. The editing is still as disruptive towards enjoyment as ever, and the complete lack of a tone neuters the satire. Leaves one with the conclusion that Godard's views on both film and woman should be left behind.
Godard at his most fun, playful, and accessible. The photography is great, and the sound design is inspired. Anna Karina commands the screen and wilts the audience like no other female ever has.
