Redoubtable

This fictionalised glimpse into the life, love, and work of Jean-Luc Godard introduces the director at a turning point in his career, just after La Chinoise.

The ructions of May 1968 politicised the director (played by Louis Garrel), causing him to shed his filmmaking skin and sever all ties with the work that had made him famous. A delightful portrayal of an artist falling out of love with the world and a committedly unserious look at a man desperate to be taken seriously. As you might imagine, Godard hates it.
