Film

“The film must be seen, for its power, ambition, humor, and scenes of really astonishing beauty. There is nothing like it at all.”
—The New York Times

An out-of-love couple’s trip to the country becomes a hellish journey into France’s bourgeois black heart, as the two encounter a Pop Art pileup of flaming cars, cannibals, hippie revolutionaries, Emily Brontë, and cinema’s most epic traffic jam. With its red-hot, anti-capitalist political charge and Brechtian stylistic jolts, Godard’s apocalyptically funny black comedy was a natural fit for Grove Press Film Division, and became one of its most popular titles.

Esteemed educational reformer Robert Maynard Hutchins wrote and narrated this animated Freudian parody, which Grove Press also published as a comic book. Zuckerkandl! originally screened with Godard's Weekend when it was first released in the United States.

This is the premiere screening of The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film's restored preservation print.
