France / Sweden 1966

 

  With Masculin féminin, ruthless stylist and iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard introduces the world to “the children of Marx and Coca-Cola,” through a gang of restless youths engaged in hopeless love affairs with music, revolution, and each other. French new wave icon Jean-Pierre Léaud stars as Paul, an idealistic would-be intellectual struggling to forge a relationship with the adorable pop star Madeleine (real-life yé-yé girl Chantal Goya). Through their tempestuous affair, Godard fashions a candid and wildly funny free-form examination of youth culture in throbbing 1960s Paris, mixing satire and tragedy as only Godard can...

Comments:

This is advertised as "New, restored high-definition digital transfer, supervised by cinematographer Willy Kurant" ... and it looks exceptional. Great detail + sharpness, sublime contrast, no damage, some good visible grain - all perfect marks. Original mono audio is... as it was recorded! The extras are stacked and are all interesting but I particularly enjoyed the discussion between Freddy Buache and Dominique Paďni - they really seemed to be having a great time. The included liner notes booklet with many photos is a real keepsake. Criterion spoils us again.  out of
