Synopsis

Shot simultaneously with Made in U.S.A. (one was filmed mornings, the other in the evenings), this drama focuses on modern life in Paris. Vlady stars as a Parisian housewife who lives in a large housing estate and supplements her husband's income by working as a part-time prostitute. Against an aural backdrop of Beethoven, her life over a 24-hour period is detailed as it speaks about the sale of oneself in the pursuit of happiness. A barrage of words, images and philosophising, with whispering and narration by Godard, this highly inventive and energetic, early "mockumentary" set the standard for such works. French with English subtitles. Jean-Luc Godard---France---1966---87 mins.

Australian commentary provides thorough introduction on new and existing approaches of thought about Godard. Besides "Candid Camera" of the American 1950's, one might say, this is the initial reality show, only it's not a reality show, Godard has given a drama of beautifully photographed suburbs, great dialogues, areas of Paris that look like Southern and upper Midwest suburbs in America, after the women drive in to look at new ready-to-wear in the fantastic colors of 1967 and drink coffee, etc. Appearances are not what they seem. Things are bright and dreadful and happy. The husbands are obsessed with Viet Nam, and, possibly, the intertwining of colonialism and Catholicism? Vlady is incredible, like no other actress in any other role in Western cinema after World War II. The new architecture is well contextualized.
