Le petit soldat (1963)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1963, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

Banned for a short while in France, Godard’s second feature boldly and stylistically depicts the moral complexities of the Algerian war, throwing audiences at the time an early political curveball.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Weekend (1967)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1967, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

Godard’s anarchic work of gleeful nihilism is not just a challenging treatise on the corruption and destruction of bourgeois values, but one of his most essential films about the end of civility and civilisation.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Contempt (1963)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1963, France, Italy, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 1 Comment

Emotions run deep in Godard’s masterwork as it charts the deterioration of a couple’s marriage whilst set against the chronic uncertainties of a movie production.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Detective (1985)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1985, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

Godard’s attempt at mashing multiple genres together in a mystery-type film doesn’t really go anywhere, and in fact, the characters are ironically searching for some kind of direction.

⭐⭐⭐

Oh, Woe Is Me (1993)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1993, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

An experimental audiovisual essay by an increasingly iconoclastic ‘90s Godard that abstractly ruminates about religion, philosophy, love and politics in the only way he can.

⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3 out of 5.

Godard’s Passion (1982)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1982, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • Leave a comment

Could be one of Godard’s most beautifully-shot films, but its experimental use of unsync dialogue combined with a fragmentary and obtuse narrative makes this challenging to appreciate.

⭐⭐⭐

Image Book, The (2018)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 2018, Documentary, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 1 Comment

As esoteric and fragmentary as one would expect from late career Godard—trying to say something about the world by being impenetrable.

⭐⭐⭐

First Name: Carmen (1983)

  • Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1983, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 1 Comment

Godard’s Venice Golden Lion winner doesn’t quite work narratively, but its fragmentary melding of music, sound design and images is an interesting experiment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pierrot le fou (1965)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1965, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 1 Comment

It’s an inventive, original piece, but also a pretentious mess that struggles to sustain in what could be one of Godard’s most overrated films in his prolific first decade as a non-conforming artist.

⭐⭐⭐

Band of Outsiders (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Godard, Jean-Luc
  • 1964, France, Jean-Luc Godard
  • 2 Comments

Stylish and radical, this free-wheeling Godard film is entertaining and impossibly cool.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.
