First Name: Carmen

A spontaneous mix of slapstick, eroticism and deep thoughts, Jean-Luc Godard’s irreverent satire of "Carmen" stars Maruschka Detmers as a femme fatale who plans to rob a bank while pretending to film a movie, but finds herself compromised by her attraction to the security guard (Jacques Bonnaffé). Godard himself appears in his first comedy as a once-great director confined to a local madhouse; Myriem Roussel, Christophe Odent, Hippolyte Girardot also star. 84 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; bonus short "Le changement à plus d’un titre: Changer d’image"(1982); theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
