Review of Masculin Féminin (1966) by Jon P — 21 Jul 2015
Mood-making and movie-shaking reach a meta peak in Jean Luc Godard's foolproof film classic.
Innovative in both style and form, Godard's film captures sexualised 60s youth with unabashed audacity, offering a viewing experience equally sexy and sincere as it is funny and freewheeling.
The great New Wave director is often credited for developments in shot technique, but Masculin Feminin is so much more: it's shot technique, sound technique, storytelling technique and, above all else, style technique, all in sumptuous harmony. Godard's influence has been rippling its way through not just cinema, but through all popular culture ever since.
