Redoubtable (15)
Michel Hazanavicius’s nouvelle vague romcom re-enacts the affair between an angst-ridden Jean-Luc Godard and ingénue actress Anne Wiazemsky.
It’s far from respectful, but few cinephiles will be able to resist its knowing humour. A brilliantly realised portrait of France’s maestro director Jean-Luc Godard spiralling into philosophical and romantic crisis adapted from the autobiographical novel by actor Anne Wiazemsky. Redoubtable portrays her marriage to Godard and its unravelling in the midst of his spectacular philosophical and artistic meltdown during the volatile moment of national protest in 1968.
Dir. Michel Hazanavicius, France, 2017, 108 mins, subtitled.
Cast. Louis Garrel, Stacy Martin, Berenice Bejo.
