A Woman Is a Woman (original French title Une Femme est une femme) is a 1961 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard.

Featuring Anna Karina, Jean-Paul Belmondo, and Jean-Claude Brialy, A Woman is a Woman is a playful tribute to American musical comedy, showcasing Godard’s signature wit and intellectual acumen. Described by Godard as his "first real movie," the film tells the story of exotic dancer Angéla (Anna Karina) as she attempts to have a child with her unwilling lover Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy). In the process, she finds herself torn between him and his best friend Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo). While the film displays skills that would later bloom in My Life to Live
, Contempt, Band of Outsiders, and Alphaville, it perhaps is not as good as these, showing Godard as an artist who would grow into his talent with the passage of time, techniques and actors. Still, it remains is an essential part of the French New Wave.
