Jean-Luc Godard's Made in U.S.A. (1966) was shown once in the United States, at the 1967 New York Film Festival, after which its lack of distribution made it fairly unavailable. Now, the long-lost noir masterpiece is back for a one-week engagement at the Gene Siskel Film Center. At its core, Made in U.S.A. is a detective flick with a modish Anna Karina investigating the mysterious murder of her lover. But the storyline is cloaked in meta sensibilities; actors often address the audience, while the film itself makes a point of acknowledging its medium. Often called the "most quintessential" of Godard's films, it's a must-see for any cineaste.
