A Married Woman - 1964 - 6/10
AKA - Une Femme Mariée

Charlotte, twenty something, has an affair with Robert, stage actor.
He presses her to divorce her husband and marry him.
Husband Pierre is older, affluent, and is a busy private pilot, often away.
While fetching, Charlotte comes across as kittenish, a bit of a coquette.
She does not work, she has a maid, her days are empty.
Indeed, she strikes one as vapid, superficial, adrift.
Writer director Godard puts her in situations of analyzing her body, face, against advertising images.
I imagine this was “modern” and perhaps pre-feminist in depictions of Charlotte’s pressures and choices.
