Director Michel Hazanavicius returns with this wildly funny and deeply moving tribute to classic cinema. In 1960's Paris, Jean-Luc Godard (Louis Garrel) is the leading filmmaker of his generation. He's shooting La Chinoise with the woman he loves, Anne Wiazemsky (Stacy Martin), 20 years his junior. They are happy, attractive, in love. They marry. But the film's reception unleashes a profound self-examination in Jean-Luc. The events of May '68 will amplify this process and the crisis that shakes the filmmaker. Deep-rooted conflicts and misunderstandings will change him irrevocably and the revolutionary, destructive, brilliant filmmaker will pursue his choices and beliefs to breaking point.

The film deals with a quite crucial period in the life of the famous French director Jean-Luc Godard when he became politically involved and opinionated, which greatly influenced his future work. It's a drama but spiced up with a certain amount of comic irony that makes the film more digestible for the audience. Moreover, it's not just a one-sided view of Godard; his then-young wife Anne Wiazemsky also gets significant space. The inner commentary of one or the other on the situations adds the necessary pizzazz to the plot, and the married couple Louis Garrel and Stacy Martin are very convincing in their roles. (70%)
