(aka "Une place sur la terre au ciel")
France 1987
"Basically an episodic comedy, Jean-Luc Godard's Soigne ta droite a French-Swiss coproduction, features Godard himself as the comic lead, rehearsals of the rock group Rita Mitsouko, a good many gags (some involving golf and travel), and a lot of cameos from well-known French actors, including Jane Birkin, Bernadette Lafont, and Jacques Villeret. The biggest surprise here though is Godard's modification of his own persona: in contrast to the grumpy, would-be sages of First Name: Carmen and King Lear, his benign and ethereal character is positively Keatonian, with echoes of Tati's Monsieur Hulot as well. (Early in the film, he executes a surprisingly deft Keaton-like gag of diving through a car window.) The main comic inspiration, by Godard's own admission, is Jerry Lewis--specifically the airplane sequence in Cracking Up, though what Godard does with it seems even more quizzically eccentric than the model. Godard is also seen grasping a copy of Dostoyevsky's The Idiot, which may provide some clues about what he's up to. This isn't one of Godard's best features, though it certainly has its moments, and I much prefer it to his more recent For Ever Mozart."

| Comments | This is a
very early DVD release from Facets, a company that certainly has a
penchant for
disappointing those with a discerning eye for image quality. It actually
turns out to be one of
the better discs that I’ve come across from them. Sure there are burned-in
subtitles that are
hard to read at times, and the single-layer disc is ripe with combing, but
for once they have
put out a disc that seems superior to a VHS tape. The colors are bright,
and the image is far
from hazy. It’s nice to see this film, which is minor but enjoyable
Godard, get a release, even
if it’s not in the finest of editions.
