Charlotte's (Macha Méril) romantic interest oscillates between her jealous husband Pierre (Philippe Leroy) and passionate lover Robert (Bernard Noël), but an unplanned pregnancy soon forces her to choose. Jean-Luc Godard's underappreciated eighth feature takes a sharp look at modern bourgeois life through the lonely figure of Charlotte, trapped between her tentative affections and the siren call of consumer culture. While it is more introspective than his more celebrated work from the era, A Married Woman (Une femme mariée) continues the director's bold formal exploration. Just as Charlotte is fragmented in the gaze of her lovers, the film is a collection of narrative shards that gather into a sharp critique of consumerist society, and the ideals of beauty and pleasure that it dictates.
