LE PETIT SOLDAT (1963)

JEAN-LUC GODARD

Plot

Godard does 'serious' with his attempt to make some sense of the Algerian Situation in the late 50s and France's role in it's future, following events through the proverbial 'little soldier', Bruno, a young Frenchman living in Geneva, who belongs to a right-wing terrorist group, and meets and falls in love with a young woman who belongs to a left-wing terrorist group. Complications ensue when the man is suspected by the members of his terrorist group of being a double agent.
