Red and Blue Series: Homage to Jean-Luc Godard’s Pierrot Le Fou

I recently watched a screening of Pierrot Le Fou, courtesy of the Calgary Cinematheque (www.calgarycinema.org) and the Plaza Theatre (www.theplaza.ca). Nancy Tousley gave an interesting talk prior to the screening drawing connections between the film, fine art (in particular painting) and comics. This photo is an homage in the use of colour – the red and blue that predominates in the film…and in the depiction of the open door… an invitation for the imagination.

Ferdinand: “Why do you look so sad?”

Marianne: “Because you speak to me in words and I look at you with feelings.”
