Pierrot Le Fou is one of my all-time favorite films. It tells the story of the tragic love between a bored man and a charismatic woman. The two flee Paris in an exciting adventure that takes them to the south of France. Each shot is a work of art, featuring close up shots of handwriting, lots of red and blue (the colors of the French flag!), and even is somewhat of an ode to film itself.
Pierrot Le Fou stars Anna Karina as Marianne and Jean Paul Belmondo as Pierrot. Released in 1965, it was directed by the famed Nouvelle Vague "auteur" Jean-Luc Godard.
