Director: Jean-Luc Godard
France/1957/21mins
An intriguing example of his early work, Tous les Garçons was Godard’s first Parisian short and is unique in being the only time Godard directed from someone else’s script - in this case Eric Rohmer.
Students Veronique and Charlotte separately meet the same man who makes a date with each of them. But when they both turn up at the same time, so does he - with a third woman in tow.
'Jean-Luc Godard’s early films revolutionised the language of cinema for everyone, from the Superbrats of Hollywood to the political film-makers of the Third World, and he remains today the most influential of film-makers.'
