First Name: Carmen

(1983)Directed by Jean-Luc Godard85 min · RCrime, Drama, Comedy, Romance
“The Revolutionary New Fable of Erotic Destiny from the Director of BREATHLESS and ALPHAVILLE”

Carmen X (Maruschka Detmers) belongs to a small terrorist group planning to rob a bank, and she is not careful about who she lets close. The guard posted at that bank is Joseph (Jacques Bonnaffé), a police officer, and she sets about getting to him. Godard loosely follows Bizet's opera, and the film leaves her in the moment before anyone has decided what this is.
