On 10 March, Sunday, at 8 p.m. as a part of the project of prominent film critic Jean-Michel Frodon yet another film of the French New Wave will be shown at the Meeting Point Cinema.
This time it is the film ‘Sauve Qui Peut La Vie’ (Every Man for Himself-US; Slow Motion- UK) which is a film directed, co-written and co-produced by Jean-Luc Godard, which premiered at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. The film stars Jacques Dutronc, Isabelle Huppert, and Nathalie Baye, and the score is by Gabriel Yared.
The film represents a return, of sorts, for Godard to cinema after almost a decade of work in video. It continues many of the themes dominant in Godard’s work, including prostitution (Huppert’s character) and the director’s relentless self-questioning, “What does it mean for me to make a movie?”; Dutronc plays a burned out video film-maker named Godard. As with much of Godard’s work, the film does not follow a conventional narrative.
The entrance is free for all.
