Movies - Pierrot le fou

Pierrot le fou (English: Crazy Pete or Pete Goes Wild) is a 1965 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, starring Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo
.

Plot

Pierrot (Belmondo), who is unhappily married, tries to spice up his boring life, going on a traveling crime spree from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne (Karina), a girl who is being chased by Algerian gangsters. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run. The film in a sense is a version of the Bonnie and Clyde legend. At the film's close, Marianne leaves Pierrot to be with another man. Pierrot catches her and kills her, and then commits suicide himself.

Themes

Godard confronts his doubts about the possibilities of cinema in this startling dissection of cinema, politics, Marxism, literature, music and pop culture. Like much of Godard's work, the film carries much of the characteristics of pop art, making constant disjunctive references to various elements of mass culture. However, this is done in a very satiric vein, whereas pop art often celebrates mass culture.
