PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
After a decade in the wilds of avant-garde and early video experimentation, Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless) returned to commercial cinema with this work of social commentary, star-driven and narrative while remaining defiantly intellectual and visually cutting-edge. Every Man for Himself, featuring a script by Jean-Claude Carrière (The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie) and Anne-Marie Miéville (Ici et ailleurs) , looks at the sexual and professional lives of three people - a television producer (Van Goghs Jacques Dutronc) , his ex-girlfriend (The Return of Martin Guerres Nathalie Baye) , and a prostitute (White Materials Isabelle Huppert) - to create a meditative story about work, relationships, and the notion of freedom. Made twenty years into his career, the film was, according to Godard, a second debut.
