A Woman Is a Woman

Synopsis

Angela (Anna Karina) wants a baby; her boyfriend Émile (Jean-Claude Brialy) does not. So, what’s a girl to do? Turn to Émile’s best friend, Alfred (Jean-Paul Belmondo), of course. A witty and anarchic send-up to — and deconstruction of — the American musical, complete with a Michel Legrand score, playful cinematic in-jokes, and loads of vibrant color captured by the legendary Raoul Coutard. In short: pure Godard.
