Double Feature!
A WOMAN IS A WOMAN / MASCULINE FEMININE
Thu, Mar 6, 2014 • 7:30pm

Godard’s first in color and ’Scope (and his nearest approximation of a musical), A WOMAN IS A WOMAN offers cinematic in-jokes and anarchic humor galore in the tale of an afternoon stripper (Anna Karina) caught between boyfriend Jean-Claude Brialy, hanger-on Jean-Paul Belmondo and her desire for a child. It's followed by Godard's B&W portrait of youth and sex, MASCULINE FEMININE, starring Jean-Pierre Léaud and pop singer Chantal Goya.
