- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Paul BelmondoJean SebergVan DoudeA small-time crook, hunted by the authorities for a car theft and the murder a police officer, attempts to persuade a hip American journalism student to run away with him to Italy.Breathless rewrote the rules of cinema -- and more than 50 years after its arrival, Jean-Luc Godard's paradigm-shifting classic remains every bit as vital.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaJean-Claude BrialyJean-Paul BelmondoAn exotic dancer is desperate to become a mother and accepts her reluctant boyfriend's suggestion that she be impregnated by his best friend.One of the last times Godard could make film paradoxes with glee, A Woman Is a Woman is a mocking, genuine tribute to musicals.
- DirectorPhilippe de BrocaClaude ChabrolJacques DemyStarsMarie-José NatDominique PaturelDanièle BarraudSeven directors each dramatize one of the seven deadly sins in a short film. In "Anger," a domestic argument over a fly in the Sunday soup escalates into nuclear war. In "Sloth," a movie star would rather pay someone to tie his shoe than bend over to do it himself, and he can't be bothered to accept a starlet's sexual favors. In "Gluttony," a peasant family on its way to the funeral of a relative who died from indigestion stops regularly to eat and drink en route, arriving in time to eat some more. In "Greed," a high-class prostitute refunds the price of a cadet's lottery ticket. In "Pride," an unfaithful wife finds reason to reform. And so on through lust and envy.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaSady RebbotAndré S. LabartheTwelve episodic tales in the life of a Parisian woman and her slow descent into prostitution.This is a great movie, and I am not surprised to find Susan Sontag describing it as 'one of the most extraordinary, beautiful, and original works of art that I know of.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaMichel SuborHenri-Jacques HuetDuring the Algerian War, a man and woman from opposing sides fall in love with one another.Gradually it becomes clearer that, starting with Le Petit Soldat, Godard was forging his own individualistic art and becoming the most relevant director of our time.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardUgo GregorettiPier Paolo PasoliniStarsRosanna SchiaffinoBruce BalabanMaria Pia SchiaffinoFour short films by four different directors dealing with the principles of modern life.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsPatrice MoulletMarino MaséGeneviève GaléaDuring a war in an imaginary country, unscrupulous soldiers recruit poor farmers with promises of an easy and happy life. Two of these farmers write to their wives of their exploits.Godard has chosen a subject on which to exercise his style. The result is one of his most successful films, and, incidentally, one easier to understand and enjoy than his later work.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsBrigitte BardotJack PalanceMichel PiccoliA French writer's marriage deteriorates while working on Fritz Lang's version of "The Odyssey", as his wife accuses him of using her to court favor with the film's brash American producer.This powerful work of essential cinema joins "meta" with "physique," casting Brigite Bardot and director Godard's inspiration Fritz Lang.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnna KarinaClaude BrasseurDanièle GirardTwo crooks with a fondness for old Hollywood B-movies convince a languages student to help them commit a robbery.An oddball heist movie with an dark streak that picks apart every rule in filmmaking.
- DirectorClaude ChabrolJean-Luc GodardUgo GregorettiStarsMie HamaKen MitsudaYatsuko Tan'amiFour swindle stories, taking place successively in Tokyo - Japan (Les cinq bienfaiteurs de Fumiko), Amsterdam - The Netherlands (La riviere de diamants), Italie (La feuille de route), and Paris - France (L'homme qui vendit la tour Eiffel).
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsBernard NoëlMacha MérilPhilippe LeroyA superifical woman finds conflict choosing between her abusive husband and her vain lover.This is still Godard's view of life in France in 1964, and one of his most sociological films, as well as one of his most formally accomplished.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsEddie ConstantineAnna KarinaAkim TamiroffA U.S. secret agent is sent to the distant space city of Alphaville where he must find a missing person and free the city from its tyrannical ruler.While Alphaville is by no means a conventional sci-fi film, Jean-Luc Godard creates a witty, noir-ish future all his own.
- DirectorClaude ChabrolJean DouchetJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Pierre AndréaniStéphane AudranNadine BallotSix vignettes set in different sections of Paris, by six directors. St. Germain des Pres (Douchet), Gare du Nord (Rouch), Rue St. Denis (Pollet), and Montparnasse et Levallois (Godard) are stories of love, flirtation and prostitution; Place d'Etoile (Rohmer) concerns a haberdasher and his umbrella; and La Muette (Chabrol), a bourgeois family and earplugs.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Paul BelmondoAnna KarinaGraziella GalvaniPierrot escapes his boring society and travels from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl chased by hit-men from Algeria. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run.Colorful, subversive, and overall beguiling, Pierrot le Fou is arguably Jean-Luc Godard's quintessential work.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Pierre LéaudChantal GoyaMarlène JobertA romance between young Parisians, shown through a series of vignettes.A '60s time capsule stuffed with ideas about politics, pop culture, and the battle of the sexes, Masculine-Feminine is one of Godard's classic black-and-white films.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Luc GodardYves BeneytonJuliet BertoA day in the life of a Parisian housewife/prostitute, interspersed with musings on the Vietnam War and other contemporary issues.Godard is as relaxed in the film as in the title.
- DirectorClaude Autant-LaraMauro BologniniPhilippe de BrocaStarsMichèle MercierEnrico Maria SalernoGabriele TintiA collection of sketches that tells the story of prostitution through the ages.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAnne WiazemskyJean-Pierre LéaudJuliet BertoA small group of French students are studying Mao, trying to find out their position in the world and how to change the world to a Maoistic community using terrorism.The spirited cast -- including Anne Wiazemsky, Jean-Pierre Léaud, and Juliet Berto -- make all this touching as well as troubling.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsMireille DarcJean YanneJean-Pierre KalfonA surreal tale of a married couple going on a road trip to visit the wife's parents with the intention of killing them for the inheritance.Year after year, Jean-Luc Godard has been chipping away at the language of cinema. Now, in Weekend, he has just about got down to the bare bones. This is his best film, and his most inventive. It is almost pure movie.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardWorkers on a car factory argue with revolutionary students.
- DirectorMarco BellocchioBernardo BertolucciJean-Luc GodardStarsTom BakerJulian BeckJim AndersonFive short stories with contemporary settings. In New York, people are indifferent to derelicts sleeping on sidewalks, to a woman's assault in front of an apartment building, and to a couple injured in a car crash. A man, stripped of his identity, dies in bed with actors expressing his agony. A cheerful, innocent young man walking a city street in a time of war pays a price for this innocence. A couple talks about cinema while they watch another couple talk of love and truth on the eve of one character's return to Cuba. Striking students take over a university classroom; an argument follows about revolution or incremental change.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Luc GodardJuliet BertoJean-Pierre LéaudHow do we learn? What do we know? Night after night, not long before dawn, two young adults, Patricia and Emile, meet on a sound stage to discuss learning, discourse, and the path to revolution. Scenes of Paris's student revolt, the Vietnam War, and other events of the late 1960s, along with posters, photographs, and cartoons, are backdrops to their words. Words themselves are often Patricia and Emile's subject, as are images, sounds, and juxtapositions. In addition to the two characters' musings, the soundtrack includes narration, music, news clips, and noise. The result is a montage, a meditation, a reflection on ideas and how words and images mix - and how filmmaking is a path.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardJean-Pierre GorinGérard MartinStarsGian Maria VolontèAnne WiazemskyCristiana Tullio-AltanA filmic essay on class struggle which draws on images from westerns but has no plot and is both an experiment in making a revolutionary film and an interrogation of how successfully such a film can be revolutionary.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardJean-Pierre GorinStarsCristiana Tullio-AltanPaolo PozzesiJerome HinstinThe film reveals how and why a supposedly revolutionary Italian girl has in fact fallen prey to bourgeois ideology.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardJean-Pierre GorinStarsYves AfonsoJuliet BertoFrankie DymonIn Godard and Gorin's free interpretation of the Chicago Eight trial, Judge Hoffman becomes Judge Himmler (who doodles notes on Playboy centerfolds), the Chicago Eight become microcosms of French revolutionary society, and Godard and Gorin play Lenin and Karl Rosa, respectively, discussing politics and how to show them through the cinema.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardJean-Pierre GorinStarsYves MontandJane FondaVittorio CaprioliGodard examines the structure of movies, relationships and revolutions through the life of a couple in Paris.A little simplistic at times but acidly funny, with Godard's genius for the arresting image once more well to the fore.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsSandrine BattistellaPierre OudreyAlexandre RignaultAn analysis of the power relations in an ordinary family.In many respects, this is a film about reverse angles and all that they imply; it forms one of Godard's richest and most disturbing meditations on social reality.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardAnne-Marie MiévilleStarsMichel MarotAnne-Marie MiévilleA film about politics and the media, in which two workers in a newspaper plant attempt to make a film.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsIsabelle HuppertJacques DutroncNathalie BayeAn examination of sexual relationships, in which three protagonists interact in different combinations.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsIsabelle HuppertHanna SchygullaMichel PiccoliA film director has an inspirational crisis while working on the production, Passion, and struggles with the nature of work and art.Mr. Godard has made a funny, fractured, totally self-absorbed movie, without a real story, about the making of a movie that has no real story.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsMaruschka DetmersJacques BonnafféMyriem RousselA woman involved with a terrorist group becomes dangerously close to the police officer guarding the bank they plan to rob.This, throwaway jokes and all, is Godard back at his most nouvelle vague in years.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsMyriem RousselThierry RodePhilippe LacosteA college student gets pregnant without having intercourse, affecting people close and unrelated to her in different ways.The film is not very good. People who have not seen a lot of films by Godard will find it especially slow-moving.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsLaurent TerzieffAurelle DoazanJean-Pierre LéaudAt a Paris hotel, a hotel detective fired after a murder took place there continues to investigate, helped by his inspector nephew and girlfriend. A boxing manager, owing money to a couple and the mafia, rides on a match next day.Jean-Luc Godard's 1985 deconstruction of film noir has the lightness and comic zip of some of his 60s features, though the mix of elements isn't quite as rich.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardAnne-Marie MiévilleStarsJean-Luc GodardAnne-Marie MiévilleJean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Mieville talk about their films, while doing everyday tasks around their house.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsWoody AllenFreddy BuacheLeos CaraxA descendant of Shakespeare tries to restore his plays in a world rebuilding itself after the Chernobyl catastrophe obliterates most of human civilization.Cinematographer Sophie Montagneux creates crisp, memorable images and Godard masterfully edits them together (whether the final result is worth the effort is subject to question).
- DirectorRobert AltmanBruce BeresfordBill BrydenStarsJohn HurtTheresa RussellStephanie Lane10 short films by 10 different directors, set to arias by different composers.I am not sure that any indispensable statement about opera has been made here, and purists will no doubt recoil by the irreverence of some of the images. But the film is fun almost as a satire of itself.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJane BirkinDominique LavanantPauline LafontA film with idiotic prince and Rita Mitsouko who records a new album.This isn't one of Godard's best features, though it certainly has its moments.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardAnne-Marie MiévilleStarsJean-Luc GodardAnne-Marie MiévilleA daring deconstruction of consumerist behavior featuring a robot and Miss Clio Darty, with a voiceover by Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, this philosophical "report," like so many of Godard's commissions, was rejected by its funders.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsAlain DelonDomiziana GiordanoJacques DacqmineComposed entirely by literary quotations from many different sources and from several historical periods, Godard's film works as an allegory on film. The loose narrative tells about a drifter found by a rich woman who soon falls in love with him. A drowning accident takes place and the drifter dies but some time later, he reappears in the woman's life looking for a job. Or could it be the man's twin brother?Alain Delon stars in what may be the last truly great theatrical feature by Jean-Luc Godard to date.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsEddie ConstantineHanns ZischlerClaudia MichelsenCharacterized by deconstructivism and philosophical references and by briefly exposing the good, bad, and ugly periods of the country's history, this post-modern film portrays the abstract need for guidance of Germany following the fall of the Berlin Wall.
- DirectorChantal AkermanRené AllioDenis AmarStarsPaul AmarRobert BadinterGuy BedosContre l'Oubli (Against Oblivion) is a compilation of 30 French filmmakers, Alain Resnais and Jean Luc Godard among them, who use film to make a plea on behalf of a political prisoner.

- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsGérard DepardieuLaurence MasliahBernard VerleyRomance about Simon Donnadieu and his decision to leave his ever-loving wife Rachel.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsLászló SzabóJean-Luc GodardBernard EisenschitzA famous French filmmaker is hired by a major Hollywood producer to make a documentary on the state of post-Cold War Russia. The filmmaker, though, subverts the project by stubbornly remaining in France and casting himself as the title character of Dostoyevsky's "The Idiot," offering up a series of typically Godardian musings on art, politics, the nature of images and the future of cinema.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsMadeleine AssasGhalya LacroixBérangère AllauxJean-Luc Godard's densely packed rumination on the need to create order and beauty in a world ruled by chaos is divided into four distinct but tangentially related stories, including the attempts by a young group of idealists to stage a play in war-torn Sarajevo and an elderly director's efforts to complete his film.Random and uninspired, the film gets a few points for its looks, but nada for its plot.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsBruno PutzuluCécile CampJean DavyAn author works on a project on the subject of love, and, in the process, crosses paths with a former love in his life.What strange confusion besets Jean-Luc Godard? He stumbles through the wreckage of this film like a baffled Lear, seeking to exercise power that is no longer his.
- DirectorBernardo BertolucciClaire DenisMike FiggisStarsAmit RayaniValeria Bruni TedeschiMark LongCollection of short films the summaries of which include; a foreign man moving to Italy, getting married and having a child; a four split scene short involving plot-less images of old people with television sets for heads, a beautiful woman having sex, and overall confusion; and an old man reminiscing over his youth.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsSarah AdlerNade DieuRony KramerAn indictment of modern times divided into three "kingdoms": "Enfer" ("Hell"), "Purgatoire" ("Purgatory") and "Paradis" ("Paradise").A dense, but thoughtful meditation about war by Jean-Luc Godard.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Marc StehléAgatha CoutureMathias DomahidyThe passengers on a Mediterranean cruise enjoy their luxuries as a small family struggles with overbearing media attention.This film is an affront. It is incoherent, maddening, deliberately opaque and heedless of the ways in which people watch movies.
- DirectorPuttipong NakthongJean-Luc GodardPeter GreenawayStarsTiago CorreiaAkarin AkaranitimaytharattPedro AlmendraA triptych of short stereoscopic films by Peter Greenaway, Jean-Luc Godard and Edgar Pêra.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsHéloïse GodetKamel AbdelliRichard ChevallierA silent, surreal parallel between a couple and a dog.As visually thrilling as it is inscrutable, Goodbye to Language 3D offers a late-period masterpiece from a legendary director still very much in control of his craft.
- DirectorAida BegicLeonardo Di CostanzoJean-Luc GodardStarsBogdan NinkovicFedja StamenkovicAndrej Ivancic13 European directors explore the theme of Sarajevo and what this city represents in European history over the past hundred years, and what Sarajevo incarnates today in Europe. From different generations and origins, these eminent filmmakers offer many singular styles and visions. François Schuiten, famous Belgian comic book artist (Cities of the Fantastic) imagined animated cartoon links in between these films, a metaphoric transposition in his graphically luxuriant world of the emblematic bridges of the city of Sarajevo.
- DirectorJean-Luc GodardStarsJean-Luc GodardDimitri BasilJean-Pierre GosNothing but silence. Nothing but a revolutionary song. A story in five chapters like the five fingers of a hand.Potentially insurmountable for viewers not attuned to the director's wavelength, The Image Book is typically confounding - and ultimately rewarding - late-period Godard.
