Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/4 --
Beauty in this movie is squeezed out of modern life until it fills the cracks between the characters' feelings.

Boston Globe
A MARRIED WOMAN is the French filmmaker's coolly intellectual, artistic dissection of modern bourgeois life that gets overlooked in his prolific '60s output...
Los Angeles Times
A thoughtful, probing exercise in erotic stagnation - no less engaging for lacking pulpiness.

Relatively minor Godard.

Godard's eye is as pure as a cello solo.

Rating: 0/4 --
...a series of nonsensical, infuriatingly abstract sequences and interludes.

Reel Film Reviews
Not only is WOMAN the most sensual entry in Godard’s first decade -- maybe in his career -- but it serves as a pivot-point between the genre games of his immediate past and the cultural critiques to come.

Product Description:
Famed auteur Jean-Luc Godard's fascination with the female race continues with A MARRIED WOMAN, an unconventional cinematic portrait of a woman who is at a crossroads in her life. Charlotte (Macha Meril) is a beautiful young wife and stepmother, who also happens to have fallen in love with Robert (Bernard Noel), a charming actor. While her husband, Pierre (Philippe Leroy), is away on business, she and Robert continue to spend time together in a hotel. When Pierre returns, Charlotte must lie in order to cover up her infidelities. She eventually learns that she is pregnant, forcing her to choose between a life with her husband, or a fresh new start with Robert. Shot in a series of extreme close-ups that mostly focus on Charlotte's flesh, Godard shows his obvious reverence for the female body. He also allows his actors the time to express their own confusion and philosophies--most notably in an extended dinner sequence. Godard's intellectual approach to male-female relationships, and especially the institution of marriage, is on full display with this influential drama, in a similar manner to the director's MY LIFE TO LIVE, TWO OR THREE THINGS I KNOW ABOUT HER, and CONTEMPT.
