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


Recommended Posts

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.


Director: Jean-Luc Godard with Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anna Karina

    • The programme was brilliant and makes me wary now of sea paddling as so many areas affected. My daughter was working at a bank when privatisation of utility companies were floated. Bank advised its staff that only x number of shares could be purchased by individuals as Government rules at that time. She reported that certain people were seeking double and triple shares. Bank told her to ignore the guidelines as those customers had thousands of pounds in the bank. She was so disgusted at the banks attitude she handed in her notice, She decided that the financial world was too corrupt. Two degrees later - she now works in the NHS as an OT in mental health unit. 
    • Out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw a white (?cabbage white?) butterfly. It's awfully early, isn't it?

    • Petition Urge Israeli Government to stop law allowing execution of Palestinian prisoners The UK Government must act urgently to urge the Israeli Government to stop the proposed law which would permit the execution of Palestinian Prisoners, past, present and future. More details We believe that such a law would constitute complete violation of the Geneva Convention and International Human Rights Law. UN experts have called for these proposals to be dropped. We call on the UK Government apply considerable and substantial political pressure and the leverage of its international obligations to prevent the Israeli Government from passing this law.
