Directed by Jean-Luc Godard | 1964
With Macha Méril, Bernard Noël, Philippe Leroy
“The best Godard I have ever seen... a nearly perfect study of what it is to be young and in love.”
—Brendan Gill, The New Yorker
New restoration
This overlooked masterwork from Godard’s extraordinary 60s period follows a bourgeois housewife (Méril) as she bounces between trysts with her actor lover (Noël) and domestic life with her aviator husband (Leroy). Godard fashions a provocative dissection of consumer culture in this modernist melodrama, trapping his characters in a web of omnipresent advertising and secret codes hidden in signage. Shot in cool black and white by the great Raoul Coutard, A Married Woman is a key work in the director’s oeuvre in which the playful exuberance of his early style is pushed toward abstraction.
