Description: JEAN-PAUL BELMONDO ANNA KARINA JEAN-CLAUDE BRIALY JEANNE MOREAU HENRI ATTAL and MARIE DUBOIS star in A WOMAN IS A WOMAN VHS - NTSC - Critic Preview Tape - Never played!! - Not-rated - Colour - 1961-release - 84-minutes - French with English sub-titles - Small cardboard slip box - See photos Sometimes, solemn but somehow empty vows of love and devotion are just not good enough, and a simple "I love you" may prove to be insufficient. As a result, Angela, a tall, slender, and graceful exotic dancer, has set her sights on talking her unwilling lover, Émile, into starting a family; however, he seems absorbed with his other passion: cycling. But, Angela wants a child, and she takes no for an answer. Could Alfred Lubitsch, a handsome neighbour and Émile's bosom friend, lend a hand? And, what happens when a pressing demand turns into a misunderstanding, and love transforms into jealousy? Only a few played with film the way Godard did. "A Woman Is a Woman", his first film in colour, is a "musical-comedy" about Angela (the beautiful, underrated Anna Karina, Godard's then wife / muse, in perhaps her most iconic role), an exotic dancer who wants to have a baby. As her boyfriend, Émile Récamier (the late Jean-Claude Brialy) doesn't like the idea, she goes after his friend Alfred Lubitsch (Jean-Paul Belmondo). However, Angela's desire is just a pretext for Godard to explore his visual, intellectual, musical and, of course, cinematic games (in one scene, Belmondo meets Jeanne Moreau at a café and asks "How's 'Jules & Jim" coming along?") with this adorably inventive, amusing and sexy ride. One of his most accessible films, "A Woman Is a Woman" is a good example of why Godard was such a revolutionary, and a great introduction to his filmography. Oh, and to hear Karina singing "Chanson d'Angela" and Charles Aznavour's "Tu t'laisses Aller" is a slice of movie heaven. 10/10.
