Masculin Féminin (1966)

With Masculin féminin, ruthless stylist and iconoclast Jean-Luc Godard introduces the world to “the children of Marx and Coca-Cola,” through a gang of restless youths engaged in hopeless love affairs with music, revolution, and each other. French new wave icon Jean-Pierre Leaud stars as Paul, an idealistic would-be intellectual struggling to forge a relationship with the adorable pop star Madeleine (real-life yé-yé girl Chantal Goya). Through their tempestuous affair, Godard fashions a candid and wildly funny free-form examination of youth culture in throbbing 1960s Paris, mixing satire and tragedy as only Godard can.

This scathing late-sixties satire from Jean-Luc Godard is one of cinema’s great anarchic works. Determined to collect an inheritance from a dying relative, a bourgeois couple travel across the French countryside while civilization crashes and burns around them. Featuring a justly famous sequence in which the camera tracks along a seemingly endless traffic jam, and rich with historical and literary references, Weekend is a surreally funny and disturbing call for revolution, a depiction of society reverting to savagery, and - according to the credits - the end of cinema itself.

Now, she is known for her music for children, but in the Sixties she defined a new type of French girl singer - the yé-yé girl. She featured in Jean-Luc Godard s 1966 film Masculin-Féminin as a pop star who might as well have been her. Chantal Goya married songwriter Jean-Jacques Debout in 1966. The songs he wrote for her, like those he had composed for Charles Aznavour, Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan, were evocative, immediate and very French. Together, they defined the yé-yé sound. Féminin The Complete 60s Recordings is the perfect complement to RPM Interntationals France Gall and Sylvie Vartan collections: Made in France: France Galls Baby Pop and Irrésistiblement.
