Despite a persistent pandemic environment, the Alliance Française of Greater Orlando is ramping up its social activities and events that were paused in 2020.
We are proud to restart our movie nights on January 29th with our first movie dedicated to French’s beloved actor Jean-Paul Belmondo: “Pierrot le fou”.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, music by Antoine Duhamel, and released in 1965, “Pierrot le fou” is hailed as Jean-Luc Godard’s most popular film after “Breathless”.
Uninterested in his wife Maria (Graziella Galvani), Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) wearies of his stagnant life. But when the couple hires an enigmatic babysitter Marianne (Anna Karina), Ferdinand falls in love with her and abandons his family. He soon discovers that his mistress is not who she seems. Pursued by foreign thugs, Ferdinand and Marianne steal a car and embark on a crime spree through the French countryside all the way to the Mediterranean.
