Godard’s entrancingly beautiful return to film after a decade of working in video, Sauve qui peut (la vie) follows the messy relationships between a television producer (named Paul Godard), his girlfriend, and a prostitute (Huppert). This deeply personal, stylistically and intellectually radical film finds the director exploring a multitude of his favorite themes: film, capitalism, sex, and art.
