What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Michel Hazanavicius presents Jean-Luc Godard's personal and political transformation through stylized, cinema-aware comic devices.
Godard's increasing commitment to revolutionary politics and filmmaking leaves Anne Wiazemsky emotionally isolated within their marriage.
Jean-Luc's jealousy, vanity, and dependence on Anne's admiration intensify as his revolutionary persona hardens.
The 1967-1968 Paris political climate, including May 68 and Maoist activism, reshapes Godard's marriage and career.
