What is Pierrot Le Fou / Hail Mary about?

PIERROT LE FOU, 1965, Rialto Films, 110 min. Dir. Jean-Luc Godard. Jean-Paul Belmondo, fed up with his wife and Paris, heads for the South of France with old flame Anna Karina, a classic pulp-fiction moll of a gang of crooks. Essential ’60s Godard, with sun-splashed color and CinemaScope photography by Raoul Coutard, a cameo by tough-guy director Sam Fuller and an explosive finale. In French with English subtitles. HAIL MARY (JE VOUS SALUE, MARIE), 1985, Cohen Film, 107 min. Dir. Jean-Luc Godard. This contemporary take on the Christian Nativity envisions Mary as a teen basketball player and Joseph as a dropout cabbie. Highly controversial on original release, this beautifully shot meditation on sexuality and divinity is one of Godard’s best films of the 1980s. With Juliette Binoche
