Description of this Pierrot Le Fou Movie Poster
Pierrot le Fou (pronounced [pjɛʁo lə fu] in French) is a 1965 French New Wave romantic drama road movie written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina. The film is based on the novel Obsession (1962) by Lionel White. It is Godard’s tenth feature film, released between Alphaville and Masculin, féminin. The plot follows Ferdinand, an unhappy married man, who escapes his boring society and travels from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl pursued by OAS hitmen in Algeria.
It was the 15th highest-grossing film of the year, with a total of 1,310,580 admissions in France. The film was nominated as a French film for Best Foreign Language Film at the 38th Academy Awards, but was not accepted as a candidate.
Ferdinand Griffon is unhappily married and has just been fired from his job at a television broadcasting company. After attending an uninspiring party and some superficial conversations in Paris, he feels the need to escape and decides to run away with his ex-girlfriend Marianne Renoir, leaving his wife, children, and bourgeois lifestyle behind. Following Marianne to her apartment and discovering a dead body, Ferdinand soon discovers that Marianne is being pursued by OAS gangsters, two of whom they narrowly escape. Marianne and Ferdinand, whom she calls Pierrot—an unwelcome nickname meaning “sad clown”—embark on a crime spree from Paris to the Mediterranean in the dead man’s car. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run, pursued by the police and the OAS gangsters alike. When they settle on the French Riviera after burning the dead man’s car (which was full of money, unbeknownst to Marianne) and sinking a second car in the Mediterranean, their relationship becomes strained. Ferdinand reads books, philosophizes, and writes a journal. They spend a few days on a deserted island.
A dwarf, who is one of the gangsters, kidnaps Marianne. She kills him with a pair of scissors. Ferdinand discovers him murdered and is caught and bludgeoned by two of his accomplices, who torture him with water to make him reveal Marianne’s whereabouts. Marianne escapes, and she and Ferdinand are separated. He settles in Toulon while she searches everywhere for him until she finds him. After their reunion, Marianne uses Ferdinand to obtain a suitcase full of money before running off with her real boyfriend, Fred, whom she previously called her brother. Ferdinand shoots Marianne and Fred, paints his face blue, and decides to blow himself up by attaching sticks of red and yellow dynamite to his head. He regrets his action at the last second and tries to extinguish the fuse, but he fails and blows himself up.
