Une femme mariée Blu Ray

Long out-of-circulation and unavailable on home-video, Jean-Luc Godard's 1964 masterpiece Une femme marie, fragments d'un film tourn en 1964 en noir et blanc [A Married Woman: Fragments of a Film Shot in 1964 in Black and White] has, until now, represented the ostensibly 'missing' key work from the first, zeitgeist-defining phase of JLG's filmography. The feature which bridges the gap between Bande part and Alphaville, Une femme marie is, nevertheless, a galaxy, or gallery, unto itself — a lucid, complex, profoundly funny series of portraits, etched with Godardian... acids, of the wife that represents either a singular case, or a universal example, of ''a''/''the'' married woman, and the men in her orbit. Macha Mril (later of Pialat's Nous ne vieillirons pas ensemble, and Varda's Sans toit ni loi) plays Charlotte — the title character. She's married to aviator Pierre (Philippe Leroy, of Becker's Le Trou). She sleeps with thespian Robert (Bernard Nol). She talks intelligence with renowned critic-filmmaker Roger Leenhardt, and takes part in a fashion-shoot at a public pool. The fragments of the film's subtitle are chapters, episodes, vignettes, tableaux; Une femme marie is a pile of magazines made into a film, and a film turned into a magazine — the table of contents reading: Alfred Hitchcock.
