Masculin Féminin – Jean-Luc Godard

Masculin, féminin is a 1966 French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It stars Jean-Pierre Léaud, Chantal Goya, Marlène Jobert and Michel Debord. Masculin, féminin is a notable film within Godard’s 60s period of filmmaking, and is considered by critics as representative of 1960s France and Paris.The film contains references to various pop culture icons and political figures around that time, such as Charles de Gaulle and André Malraux to James Bond and Bob Dylan, and follows Godard’s non-linear filmmaking techniques and narratives. The main story is at times interrupted by various sequences and sub-plots, including a scene paraphrased from LeRoi Jones’ Dutchman. Arguably the most famous quotation from the film is “This film could be called The Children of Marx and Coca-Cola”, which is actually an intertitle between chapters.
