action

Ferdinand Griffon reluctantly goes to a party held by his father-in-law with his wife. Soon he can't take it anymore, since all the guests (except for the director Samuel Fuller ) are speaking in flat advertising language, and in his apartment he meets his ex-girlfriend Marianne Renoir, who was employed as a babysitter. Since he is bored of his current affluent life, he runs away with Marianne, who calls him “Pierrot”. Soon after, he is involved in a murder case, whereupon the two of them flee south. They get by with thefts and never last long in one place.

When gangsters are after Marianne, they are separated. Marianne disappears on a Mediterranean island. Ferdinand found her again a few weeks later in Toulon. There she has a lover who works as an arms smuggler. Once again Marianne persuades Ferdinand to undertake a dangerous operation, during which she shoots two men who wanted to buy a yacht and takes the money from them. Then Marianne and her lover flee in a boat, leaving Ferdinand alone on the mainland. When he follows them to an island in a ship, the White Dove , Marianne is fatally wounded in a firefight between her lover and Ferdinand and dies in Ferdinand's arms. He then ties several sticks of dynamite around his head and blows himself up. In the final sequence you can hear her two voices off-screen. Marianne: We found her again. Ferdinand: What is it? Marianne: Eternity. Ferdinand: Eternity is the sea. Marianne: ... and the sun. - The End -

Reviews

“A romantic young man takes a corpse in his apartment as an opportunity to break out of bourgeois society and surrender to the adventure of freedom. Between improvisation and reflection, between comedy and tragedy, a film riddled with allusions and quotes, in which Jean-Luc Godard mixes his own and the foreign with the allure of the poet who is only indebted to his inspiration. "
