The TVI Take

Jean-Luc Godard's 1965 Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina film, the canonical Nouvelle Vague crime-romance-fugue. The structural commitment to letting genre conventions explicitly break apart on screen (the direct-address moments, the political-essay digressions, the painting-vs-cinema visual experiments) established the catalog's most-influential 1960s formal experiment.

Late-Godard's most-cited single feature.
