Pierrot Le Fou (1965), Jean Luc-Godard

Pierrot escapes his boring society and travels from Paris to the Mediterranean Sea with Marianne, a girl chased by hit-men from Algeria. They lead an unorthodox life, always on the run.

It’s a film about painting — well, not exactly, but the film is like a painting. Like a painted landscape, or a portrait — a bit of both. I think my initial intention was like that of a painter. — Jean-Luc Godard
