"Charlotte et son Jules" is a 13-minute black-and-white film from 55 years ago. The writer and director is Jean-Luc Godard and the 2 actors are Jean Paul Belmondo and Anne Collette. For all 3 of them, it was not the first career effort, but a very early one. Godard and Belmondo obviously went on to become huge stars in their respective fields. Collette did not develop equally prolific or successful in terms of her career. In this short film a woman has left a man, returns to his place and the man keeps rambling mostly misogynistic phrases for the entire film right until the end where we find out in a funny little twist why she really came back. Pay attention to how Charlotte is mentioned first in the title. She is the star, even if she only communicates non-verbally in here. All in all, despite the random ramblings there is something artistic to this film and it was a good watch. Recommended.
