- 'Charlotte Et Son Jules': a short film by Jean-Luc Godard
Landmark French movie that turns the tragi-comic story of small time criminal Michel Poiccard/Laszlo Kovacs (Belmondo) obsessed with both Bogart and an aspiring American journo (Seberg), into a major masterpiece of fickle hedonism. Cigarettes, hats, sunglasses and determined unconformity make Belmondo a true cinematic icon playing against the stunning Seberg to a sharp jazz score in the coolest of cities.
Crafted with elusive spontaneity, Godard's nervy style still looks as good as ever.

A slick french new wave film from cashiers du cinema director Jean-luc godard. This film helped define cinema gangster cool in the sixties and was born from a time of cinematic revolution. this film used pioneering new film techniques to show that editing didn't have to be continuous and that a big budget wasn't madatory.
