Review of Masculin Féminin (1966) by J. A — 03 Jan 2009
"More than any other film of Godards heyday Masculin, feminin is a time capsule of France and Paris in the 1960s, with references to everyone from Charles de Gaulle and Andre Malraux to James Bond and Bob Dylan, and -- true to the Godard style -- filled with jokes, puns and non-sequiturs, the story repeatedly interrupted by seemingly extraneous incidents: a woman blows away her husband; a scene paraphrased from LeRoi Jones' Dutchman; Brigitte Bardot rehearsing the lines of a play in a bistro; a Swedish sex-cum-art-film-within-a-film, with Leaud stalking off just when things get hot on-screen -- going outside to climb the external stairs that lead to the projectionist, where he delivers a lecture on aspect ratio.
