Made In U.S.A.

Hailed as one of Godard's greatest works, Made in U.S.A. is the director's modernist, pop-culture infused treatment of a film noir, with his soon-to-be-ex wife and muse Anna Karina as the trench coat and high-heel wearing heroine. A tribute to the famously labyrinthine Howard Hawks film The Big Sleep, the story begins when Paula goes to a fictionalized Atlantic City to look for her boyfriend, who turns up dead. Bodies start piling up and there's no end to the sinister characters she encounters. With references reaching from Tweety Bird to Shakespeare to Otto Preminger, Made In USA is a stylish, thrilling, and ambitious ride.

"Beautiful, goofy and explosive Anna Karina was never lovelier in dazzling color and scope and Godard's ultimate statement about his love/hate for the aesthetics/politics of American movies/life is an event to be savored and celebrated. [It] has all the electric thrill of a Rauschenberg painting in motion!" --Jonathan Rosenbaum
