A Woman Is a Woman Reviews

It had been a while since I saw a movie directed by Jean-Luc Godard and since this one had a decent reputation, I  was quite eager to check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that I ended up with some mixed feelings about the damned thing. I mean, it was definitely more watchable that the movies delivered by Godard later on during his career and it was pretty neat to see the guy putting a French New Wave twist on the romantic-comedy genre but, eventually, I still had a hard time to connect with this movie. Basically, like many other movies coming from this director, it was rather experimental, with no plot or scripts, which wasn't a bad thing, in the contrary, but it felt really random. Furthermore, it didn't help that I didn't care much for the characters who weren't really entertaining or fascinating to follow. Still, there is no doubt that Anna Karina, in her first part, was really charismatic and she would become one of the major actress involved in the French New Wave. To conclude, even though it didn't completely blow me away, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
