After abandoning his wife at a Parisian party, whose other guests include Sam Fuller playing himself, bored Belmondo flees his bourgeois existence with his children’s babysitter (Karina). On the lam in the sun-soaked south of France, this “last romantic couple,” per Godard, battles gunrunners, gas station attendants, and American tourists, all the while spontaneously bursting into snippets of songs, enigmatic quotations, or oddball impersonations. A major turning point in Godard’s cinema, Pierrot le fou is “a grand summation of everything he'd achieved since Breathless… [it] radiates joy of cinema,” per J. Hoberman in The Village Voice.
