The Bigger Picture film club ? ?Pierrot Le Fou? (1965) at East Dulwich Tavern on 16 February 2017

[The Bigger Picture]

The Bigger Picture film club will be showing ?Pierrot Le Fou? (1965) at 8pm on Thursday, 16 February 2017, Upstairs at East Dulwich Tavern.

Godard?s 10th film, and an anarchic take on the road movie in which a couple are on the run from bourgeois life (and gangsters), provides Godard with the entertaining opportunity to reference the conventions of Hollywood filmmaking.

Uninterested in his wife (Raymond Devos), Ferdinand Griffon (Jean-Paul Belmondo) wearies of his stagnant life. But when the couple hire an enigmatic baby-sitter, Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), Ferdinand falls head over heels in love with her and abandons his family. He soon discovers, however, that his mistress is not who she seems. Pursued by foreign thugs, Ferdinand and Marianne flee Paris, steal a car and embark on a crime spree through the French countryside all the way to the Mediterranean. Abandoning the conventions of narrative cinema, Godard invents his own subversively anarchic tropes with a virtuosity that captivates and entertains.
