"A Woman Is a Woman" is Godard's second film after "Exhausted", but the director called this film "my real film debut". Different from Godard's other works, there are no guns, only roses; no blood, only singing, it is a tribute to Hollywood music song and dance film, lively, playful and cute.
This is a Godard-style song and dance film. Godard’s unconstrained and eclectic creative talent can still be seen, occasionally breaking the alienation effect of the “fourth wall” and interacting with the audience intimately; The placement of eggs in films such as "Account" and "Shoot the Pianist" is a dialogue with myself and also with my close friend Truffau.
In 1962, Godard talked about the film in an interview with Tom Milner: "Many people don’t like "A Woman Is a Woman" because they don’t understand what the film conveys. But it doesn’t actually convey it. What. If you see a bunch of flowers on the table, do you think it conveys anything? It does not prove anything. I simply hope that the film can provide pleasure to people. I hope that the film itself is full of internal conflict and full of tension. , There is both joy and sorrow. Of course, we can’t do this in real life. We can only do this or that, but I hope to do both in the movie.” So, no need Watch a movie with a baggage and immerse yourself in the fantasy dreamland created by Godard.
