Masculin Feminin Reviews

(Mu) Godard amuses with Leaud and pretty maif popular Chantal Goya singing anything. Macho Leaud is confronted, deconstructed, mocked, saved, privet jocked (he is general Doinel in one scen,e theres Brigitte Bardot in other, and so on)...

I was tempted to watch this movie at age 11 after seeing a video edit of this to Mac DeMarco's song 'My Kind of Woman', and for many months after viewing this gem, it became my favourite film! The cast members are not only beautiful but actually have talent, especially Jean-Pierre Léaud, who is now one of my favourite actors. And yes, alike many people who have also watched this film, I agree that times it was difficult to understand and the plot was not challenging, but hard to soothe into. But what I treasured about Masculin Feminin was its aesthetic and how beautiful the cinematography was.

Anyway, even though this film wasn't an easy watch by any means if you do enjoy French films (especially the new wave genre), I recommend Masculin Feminin and encourage you to watch it. It's been a many years since first watching it and calling it 'my favourite film', but only 2 people I've recommended it to regretted watching it.

‘A bout de souffle’ is and will remain one of my favorite movies forever and I have been following Godard ever since his masterpiece really blew me away but, unfortunately, no one of his movies have reached this level of awesomeness, at least not in my opinion. The point is that, pretty soon in his career, his movies started to get pretty cryptic and became harder and harder to follow and, nowadays, except for a few die-hard fans, we all pretty much agree that his work has become some incomprehensible pseudo-intellectual and political mix, a mix I always had a hard time to appreciate. This movie is a pretty good example. I mean, it has a pretty good reputation and it was actually quite intriguing but it was so hard to follow, I can’t say I really loved the damned thing. Still, the cast was pretty cool, it included the always awesome Jean-Pierre Léaud, the most popular actor among the French new wave, and also Chantal Goya who was really lovely at the time but she would actually end up singing some really lame children songs in the 80’s. To conclude, even though I don’t think it is a masterpiece whatsoever, it remains a typical Godard effort, I enjoyed it and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
