With its exuberant colors, humor, and beautiful music by composer Michel Legrand, Une Femme Est Une Femme is Godard at his most accessible. A playful homage to the American musical, now beautifully restored in 4K.

With Une Femme Est Une Femme, Jean-Luc Godard, the iconic figure of the 60's Nouvelle Vague movement, presented his quirky vision of the musical: “a neorealistic musical.” Featuring French superstars Anna Karina, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Jean-Claude Brialy at the height of their popularity, this unique classic is both a playful homage to and an ironic dissection of the American musical. Karina’s Angéla, a striptease dancer with a desire for children, becomes entangled in a light-hearted yet keenly observed love triangle.
