Godard’s Paris ’65

Not to be missed also in this pre-Oscar dry season is Jean-Luc Godard’s Masculine-Feminine (1966), an inimitably impish contemplation of 1965 Paris—its youth, sex, politics and Americanized pop culture. Mr. Godard is right on time with his protest against the Vietnam War, but somewhat behind the feminist clock with his hyper-narcissistic females tormenting his ideologically overheated but sexually frustrated males. The cast includes Jean-Pierre Léaud, Chantal Goya, Marlène Jobert, Michel Debord, Catherine-Isabelle Duport and, as herself, Brigitte Bardot. At the Film Forum, Feb. 11 to Feb. 24.
