Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: The melodramatic sluice-of-life interludes are what ultimately swamp the film's modest blend of whimsy and melancholy. – TIME Magazine, Jul 16, 2014

Fresh: So challenging and prolific has been Godard's 53-year career that virtually all of his films are as deserving of revival as Pierrot le Fou. – Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times, Jul 16, 2014

Fresh: Made in 1965, this film, with its ravishing colors and beautiful 'Scope camerawork by Raoul Coutard, still looks as iconoclastic and fresh as it did when it belatedly opened in the U.S. – Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: Godard abandoned the conventions of narrative cinema and adopted a loose picaresque format around which he could arrange subversive generic tropes, poetic digressions, political ideas and comic-book escapades. – David Parkinson, Empire Magazine, Jul 16, 2014

Customer Reviews

One of the defining art house films.

This is one of those movies that only Jean-Luc Godard could do. It has a really has a basic thriller plot, but when it's Godard, you're getting much, much more than that. Instead, you get an art house film with great ambition with only touches of a thriller. Sure, there's car chases, shootouts, and a great center romance, but most of the time it takes a backseat to funny, charming dialogue, weird cinematography, a soundtrack only Godard could pull off, and two of art house's best actors (that being Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina) acting ultra-cool and succeeding great at it. "Pierrot le Fou" isn't always entertaining, but somehow every second is compelling and original.
