Une Femme Coquette - Jean Luc Godard (1955) W/Intro & English Subs
It’s a nine-minute Guy De Maupassant adaptation he shot on 16 mm in
Geneva in 1955, using money earned from the sale of Opération Béton, his
first short film. Une Femme Coquette is the most elusive rarity of the
French New Wave, and possibly the most difficult-to-see film by a name
filmmaker that isn’t believed to be irretrievably lost. Actually,
plenty of references list it as lost—which, again, it isn’t—because it’s
never been distributed and because no film archive or public
collection will cop to owning a print.
