Art House Film Series: A Woman is a Woman

Presented by Emmet O'Neal Library at Unknown

Join us each month this summer for a great foreign or independent film you may have missed. Popcorn, candy and beverages will be served.

Dancer Angela (Anna Karina) wants to have a child, but finds her boyfriend (Jean-Claude Brialy) is an unwilling participant. She decides to ask his friend (Jean-Paul Belmondo) instead.

With A Woman Is a Woman (Une femme est une femme), compulsively innovative director Jean-Luc Godard presents “a neorealist musical—that is, a contradiction in terms.” Featuring French superstars Anna Karina, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Jean-Claude Brialy at their peak of popularity, A Woman Is a Woman is a sly, playful tribute to—and interrogation of—the American musical comedy, showcasing Godard’s signature wit and intellectual acumen. A dizzying compendium of color, humor, and the music of renowned composer Michel Legrand, A Woman Is a Woman finds the young Godard at his warmest and most accessible, reveling in and scrutinizing the mechanics of his great obsession: the cinema.
