FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Jean-Luc Godard - Maculin Feminin (engl. subt.)  

"We are the children of Marx and Coca-Cola"; from this famous line comes the German rental title. In Godard's film all characters are fascinated by America. They are young French people who are so fascinated by America. And in return, the young American audience was fascinated by Godard. But what exactly did they like about Godard? The world of chic cafes? Paul from Masculin Feminin (of course Jean-Pierre Leaud) moves casually in it. Or the bedrooms of young beautiful girls? Probably 70% of all young people in 1966 wanted to be Jean-Pierre Leauds Paul. Or at least Jean-Pierre Leaud. Or at least live in Paris. All the rest, demos, radical political ideas, endless conversations about sex, etc., can be considered accessories. Performance Art. By participating in all these activities, Paul meets the sexy singer Madeleine (Chantal Goya) and her equally sexy roommate. Of course we are aware that these are all girls and boys, like the Fridays For Future movement today. By the way, Godard played long before later movements with natural light, real time and original locations. The plot behind it is this: Paul is all about getting into bed with beautiful girls. He claims to be a communist and "worker", paints slogans on the walls and supports the student streets barricades. Above all, he tries to smoke like Jean-Paul-Belmondo. And he never succeeds. Paul is just one of the guys who go to the cinema and try to copy their role models. That's exactly how Masculin Feminin works.
