Ladies of the Night

France 1967, 97 minutes
Dir. Jean-Luc Godard, Philippe de Broca, Claude Autant-Lara, Mauro Bolognini, Franco Indovina, Michael Pfleghar
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Comedy / Sex

 

Aroview: A six-segment portmanteau comedy which traces the history of prostitution from its Stone Age version (being the 'oldest profession') through to contemporary swinging 60s and out into the future.

An all-star cast makes the generally uneven viewing easier on the eyes, although each section can't help but reflect to some extent on the connection between love and money. The final sci-fi sequence "Anticipation", dir. by Jean-Luc Godard, is by far the best, with a cluster of ideas and images reminiscent of ALPHAVILLE.

Dubbed into English.
