Director: Jean-Luc Godard
Actors: Anna Karina (Angela), Jean Paul
Belmondo (Alfred), Jean-Claude Brialy (Émile)
This is a French New Wave movie. This is the first movie for Godard and first in color and Cinemascope. French filmmakers of 1950-1960s were influenced by Italian Neorealism and Hollywood and so the French New Wave was created. Angela is an [exotic] dancer who is in a relationship with Emile. She wants to have a child but he does not. The movie goes on to show the intrinsic relationship as Angela includes her friend Alfred as a possible candidate to father her child.
I was surprised by the nudity, however I
expected it from the era. The movie was too choppy for my taste and some scenes
had worse transitions than others. Intersting but not a movie I would watch again.
