Yet another Godard, but this one much less appreciated, if not seen. This adaptation of the opera Carmen features the title woman in the role of terrorist Carmen X, who falls for a policeman guarding the bank that her cell is planning to rob. Interspersed is footage of a small orchestra playing Beethoven.

First Name: Carmen - 1983 - France
Pierrot le Fou - 1965 - France
What's nice about this trailer is that it adequately captures the madness that is the movie. There's an actual dialogue attempted between trailer and audience and it kind of works.
