REVIEW

Of all Godard's political films (of which this is one of the earliest), Masculin, féminin is perhaps the most multi-faceted and engaging.  It may not be as strident or as politically coherent as some of the director's later political films - notably La Chinoise (1967) and Week End (1967) - but it has that unmistakable mix of Nouvelle Vague poetry and anarchic playfulness which makes it one of the most digestible and stimulating offerings from Godard's intellectually challenging middle period.  Perhaps no other film by Jean-Luc Godard captures the spirit of the 1960s, and hints at the turbulence to come, more than this witty and insightful piece of social commentary.
