Product Description

Amazon.ca

Jean-Luc Godard has been called the most self-conscious, the most realistic, and the most modern of filmmakers. To his appreciators this means he owns up to the fact that a movie is a movie, that at any moment in one of his films you know you're watching a film by Jean-Luc Godard. His films are self-aware in a way that films never were before him. Pierrot le Fou achieves a rare spontaneity and naturalness, largely due to the presence of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina, but also because of Godard's willingness to let go of any pretense to an illusionary or mimetic style, so-called "realism." What story there is has Pierrot (Belmondo) escaping from his boring life along with Marianne Renoir (Karina), who is chased by gangsters. But this is just an excuse to film a kind of essay to lost love, a poem to Karina that is delightful. If "Pierrot goes wild," then so does Godard, with Belmondo standing in for him in his pursuit of and journey with Karina. Godard is not for everyone, admittedly, but for those with the wherewithal to enjoy his films, they are receiving new life on DVD. Whatever coterie taste survives today has been distributed in multiple across the Internet and via the agency of video rental bins, perhaps all the more potent for that reach. Let's hope so. --Jim Gay

5.0 out of 5 stars Godard's best Jan 1 2000
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
A wonderful film. I can't recommend it highly enough, unless - like one of the reviewers here - this genre isn't really to your taste. My two favorite scenes; the montage when they're leaving her apartment early in the film, and the party where all but a couple of the people speak in advertising slogans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pierrot Le Fou Nov 25 1999
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
First off, let me say that this film is not for everybody. If you love foreign cinema, then you should love this. It is classic Godard. His use of color and composition is outstanding. This was the first Godard film I saw in color and I was amazed by it. There is a nice cameo by director Sam Fuller. Those who are Godard fans must watch this. You will not be let down.

4.0 out of 5 stars O Criterion Where Are You Feb 4 2004
By C. Rubin
Format:DVD
This is a five-star movie with a deduction for the DVD release. It may be that this movie will never look or sound that good technicallly, but a restoration would surely help. Even if Fox Lorber gave us only a commentary track, I would give the extra rating star; this is a bare-bones production effort of a movie that deserves the red-carpet treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Tragic, Mystic : Pierrot le Fou c'est moi
What I love about the two Godard/Belmondo films (Breathless & Pierrot Le Fou) is the marriage of the sacred and profane, the comic and the tragic, the high and the low. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant film - terrible transfer
This is a great movie, probably Godard's best. But I'm afraid that the transfer to DVD by Fox Lorber is very poor. Read more

I tell you one thing- either you'll love godard or you'll hate him. This was the first movie I saw of Godard without knowing anything about French Cinema. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 star film, 1 star DVD - Boo hiss to Fox Lorber
Why Fox Lorber doesn't just turn its catalog over to Criterion and stop desecrating great films is a mystery. I love this film, the 400 Blows and others. Read more

The five stars go to the movie, not to the dvd edition.This is a joyful, playful, charming movie by Godard, of course. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Potential, but expires upon comparison to historical denial.
Godard's unmatched visual direction takes a spin toward a dangerous curve called despair. Like the the works of faience found in Tijuana, Jean-Luc takes a poised aim at the... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars About the DVD...
My exposure to Godard films were through VHS tapes. I was too young to watch his 60's films in their original formats. The transfer is not too great but good enough. Read more
