And no, I'm not talking about NOTRE MUSIQUE...

MASCULIN-FEMININ is back in all of its anarchic glory, restored by Railto and making its way across the country (or at least that's the impression I'm getting).

I actually think this is one of Godard's most underappreciated films, a key film in his transition from his earlier, more narrative/homage bound films to the, well, uniquely Godardian films of his later career. And I have Pauline Kael to back me up on this one!

Interesting bit of trivia: Marlène Jobert, who stars as Elisabeth, is the mother of the delicious Eva Green of DREAMERS fame.

For those of you with Quicktime capabilties: the awesome trailer.

Hopefully this'll make its way to San Diego, but I'm not going to count on it. I may need to make a special trip up to LA just for the occasion.
