15th October / Masculin, Féminin



Masculin, Féminin (France 1966)
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Godard offers '15 precise facts' about the children of Marx and Coca-Cola: a series of scattershot observations of young people in Paris in 1965. This is pre-political Godard, which means that it attacks on all cylinders without having any strong line of its own. But its parodies and satires are recklessly inventive, and its fundamental pessimism isn't as flip as it may at first seem.(From Time Out Film Guide)
