“Dissatisfied in marriage and life, Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) takes to the road with the babysitter, his ex-lover Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), and leaves the bourgeois world behind. Yet this is no normal road trip: the tenth feature in six years by genius auteur Jean-Luc Godard is a stylish mash-up of anti-consumerist satire, au courant politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple.” Pierrot le fou is one of the high points of the French New Wave.” – The Criterion Collection (in French w/English subtitles)
Dr. Ajay Gehlawat, Professor in the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies will introduce the screening.
