Louis Garrel as Godard in Redoutable
Roudoutable
A film by Michel Hazanavicius (The Artist) about the love life of Jean-Luc Godard. Owen Gleiberman of Variety says it's just crazy enough to make sense, but its real topic is Godard's breakup with movies. It is loosely structured around his relationship with his second wife, Anne Wiazemsky, and based on her roman-à-clef. It also depicts how his views on movies were turned on their head during the revolutionary period of 1967-68, the moment when Godard "slipped through the looking glass, never to return." But Bradshaw of GUARDIAN(who gives it 3/5 stars) calls this "a pastiche without passion" though Godard is "amusingly" played by Louis Garrel. And Hazanavincius being a master of pasthiche, "there is a kind of fidelity to how purely insufferable Godard must have been, as well as how stylish and charismatic he was."
