Hélas Pour Moi

A publisher (Bernard Verley) on a desperate hunt for the missing pages to a manuscript finds his fate intertwining with that of a Swiss fisherman (Gérard Depardieu) and his estranged wife (Laurence Masliah), whose marriage foundered after her seduction by an unknown entity that had taken her husband’s form. Jean-Luc Godard’s fantastic rumination on the Alcmene legend--which he disavowed after clashing with his star--also stars Aude Amiot, Jean-Louis Loca. AKA: "Oh, Woe Is Me." 83 min. Standard; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; audio commentary; theatrical trailers. In French with English subtitles.
