"An intoxicating expression of that devotion, and of the idea, more liberating then than now, that movie love was the stuff that movies could be made of." - A.O. Scott, The New York Times
“Pure cinema!” - André LaBarthe, Cahiers du Cinéma
Jean Luc-Godard’s homage to the Hollywood musical—and his first film in color—stars Anna Karina, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Jean-Claude Brialy in the playful story of Angéla, an exotic dancer with baby fever; her lover Emile, and his jealous best friend Alfred. Chock-full of eccentric musical moments and inside jokes (catch a reference to BREATHLESS and a cameo by Jeanne Moreau), A WOMAN IS A WOMAN is a delight that won a jury prize at the Berlin Film Festival for its “originality, youth, audacity and impertinence.” Restoration produced from original 35mm negative and sound negative. Supervised by Studiocanal, restored with the support of the CNC.
