One of the few Godard films of the 1960s that I have yet to see:
Jean-Luc Godard, France/Italy 1965, 110 min
After abandoning his wife at a Parisian party, bored Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) flees his bourgeois existence with his babysitter and ex-lover, Marianne (Anna Karina). Taking it on the lam to the south of France, the couple becomes an existential Bonnie and Clyde, battling gunrunners, gas station attendants, and American tourists as they come face to face with their own roles as characters in a pop-cultural landscape. A profound turning point in Godard’s cinema, Pierrot le fou recalls the gangster cool of Breathless and Band of Outsiders while also pointing towards the increasingly essayistic, apocalyptic visions of Two or Three Things I Know About Her and Weekend. Janus Films is proud to present this landmark work in a new 35mm print.

One of the best fight sequences ever! The animantion is sooo good! Speially considering that Cowboy Bebop was quite unknown on its beginning and didnt have a giant budget.

Just looked it up. Looks interesting. The library has a copy - I put a hold on it.
