Hail Mary (1985) Directed by Jean-Luc Godard November 9 - Saturday - 9:30 p.m. Boycotted worldwide, this serene and lyrical work translates the Virgin Birth into tangible contemporary terms. Mary is a beautiful, yet ordinary teenager who vows to maintain her chastity. Following a warning from an angel, a confused and innocent Mary unexpectedly falls pregnant and is forced to wed her taxi-driving boyfriend Joseph. He, in turn, must love his virgin bride from a distance, revering her without touching her. Forced to face a shocking reality, they must struggle to cope as the provocative theme unfolds. In French language with English subtitles. (35mm. 107 min. Not Rated.) Vivre sa vie (1962) Directed by Jean-Luc Godard November 14 - Thursday - 7:00 p.m. Faced with a failed relationship, a dead-end job, and potential homelessness, young Parisienne Nana (Anna Karina) turns to “the life” - that is, prostitution. A simple tale told in twelve Brechtian tableaux, Vivre sa vie is one of Godard’s most deeply felt films, anchored by Karina’s astonishing lead performance and Nouvelle Vague favorite Raoul Coutard’s breathtaking cinematography of street-level Paris. 35mm print courtesy of Janus Films. In French language with English subtitles. (35mm. 85 min. Not Rated.) Pierrot le Fou (1965) Directed by Jean-Luc Godard Nov. 17 - Sun. - 6:30 p.m. Dissatisfied in marriage and life, Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) takes to the road with the babysitter, his ex-lover Marianne Renoir (Anna Karina), and leaves the bourgeoisie behind. Yet this is no normal road trip: genius auteur Jean-Luc Godard’s stylish mash-up of consumerist satire, politics, and comic-book aesthetics, as well as a violent, zigzag tale of, as Godard called them, “the last romantic couple.” – The Criterion Collection. In French with English subtitles. (35mm. 110 min. Not Rated.) 40 Brody Presents Godard Tickets: (812) 855-1103
