i'm really happy to see a high score for pineapple express, loved that film
What did you think of Femme est un femme? Did you make it all the way through?
I made it all the way through, but it felt much longer than 80 minutes to me. I didn't dislike it, exactly; I could see what Godard was getting at, which was intriguing intellectually, but not really satisfying in the form which Godard presentd onscreen.This bothered me more in Pierrot le Fou, which felt like a private joke he was enjoying at the expense of the audience. In general the Godard films I've liked best have been the ones with more structured, classical storytelling, like My Life to Live and Contempt, but I'm still hoping to get into his more cerebral, deconstructed films.
you liked femme est une femme more than pierrot? Interesting. I didn't like femme very much at all, though it was interesting in many ways, most notably because of the innovative and jarring use of the soundtrack. But I hated the lens he used to film most of it (especially outdoors) and I hated Anna Karina in it (though I find I'm starting to come around to her). In any case, I liked Pierrot le fou better than Woman is a Woman. It's one of my favourite Godard films thus far. Since you like his more structured work, what did you think of Masculin Feminin?
I haven't seen it yet, so obviously I don't have the most informed perspective on Godard. Hopefully I'll watch it soon, and then I can let you know what I think.
