Pierrot Le Fou (1965)

[Click on the images to enlarge them]

Pierrot le fou is a 1965 French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, starring Anna Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo. The film is based on Obsession, a novel by Lionel White. It was Jean-Luc Godard's tenth feature film, released between Alphaville and Masculin, féminin. The title translates as Pete the Madman or Crazy Pete, but the film is usually released under its French title internationally.

I love Godard, I'm a huge fan of his, and Pierrot Le Fou is my favourite of all his films. The cinematography in it is beyond beautiful, all those vivid colors and wonderful places, the sea, the islands. Anna Karina is amazing, it's always a pleasure to see her, besides, her outfits are absolutely incredible. Jean-Paul Belmondo is one of the greatest French actors, at least in my opinion, and I'm glad he did a few movies with Godard, especially this one. Take a look at these film stills and you'll see how terribly pretty it looks, I highly recommend it.

I'll be doing quite a few more posts like this one, about other movies with beautiful cinematography.

A short explanation on why I made this blog.

Hello, everyone! Well, I used to have a Wordpress blog called Silver Velvet Sky, but I reached some sort of posting limit and, sadly, I wasn't able to make any more posts. About forty minutes ago, I decided to start a new blog here on Blogger, since I've had a couple of them in the past. Anyhow, I won't talk about myself or anything like that, you just have to read the short description, if you'd like to know a bit about who I am and what you'll find in this website. I got the title from one of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novels (Tender Is The Night). I will probably re-do the posts I had done for Silver Velvet Sky and add some new ones, I hope you find it interesting, nice and entertaining.
