| Though she's starred in over forty films, few of you had trouble identifying the lovely Brigitte Bardot from her brief, uncredited appearance in Jean-Luc Godard's ode to the children of Marx and Coca-Cola, Masculin Féminin. I've always felt that this film, even more than À Bout de Souffle, is an excellent entry point into the world of JLG for the uninitiated. As playful as it is political, it's a perfect blend of his early "romantic" (and I use that term loosely) films and the more overtly political titles that were to follow. And those Chantal Goya songs are pure pop goodness. In a comment on last week's quiz, fellow blogger Andy Horbal inquired as to which film(s) I watched on my birthday. Well, the answer lies below. Coincidentally, this week's screen capture once again finds a man and a woman seated at a table in a restaurant. Name the film. Submit your answers to this address. Good luck! |

Ha, good answer! I agree completely re: Godard. I think it's also one of his most fun, and thus arguably one of his most accessible, films. Perfect for the French New Wave novice!

You really shouldn't make it quite that easy, you know.

Yeah...yeah..I know.
Don't worry, they'll get harder.

I'd have to go back and look at the film -- I can't recall which cafe it is.

why would you say it was hard to identify her as Brigitte Bardot?? You did refer to her as BB!

Bad phrasing on my part -- I meant it wasnt a problem for many to guess which film it was, even though it wasn't a Bardot film per se. I'm too sleepy. . .

Man, this week's quiz is messed up.
