In 1967, 37-year old Jean-Luc Godard fell in love with his 17-year old actress Anne Wiazemsky whilst making his film La Chinoise. He would later go on to marry her. Redoubtable is a comedy drama – note the refusal to quite embrace the ‘dramedy’ tag – based on Wiazemsky’s book ‘Un an Apres’ which chronicled her time shooting the aforementioned feature with her future husband.
In terms of colour palette and general aesthetic, there is more than a touch of the New Wave titan present. Make no mistake, however, this is Michel Hazavanicius’s film. After all, Redoubtable is certainly no hagiography. Neither is it entirely true and quite a biopic. In fact, it is determinedly elusive to pigeonholing, which feels somehow rather apt for a mercurial talent such as Godard.
We sat down separately with the equally delightful co-lead Stacy Martinand Michel himself to talk through this enterprise and their careers.
