French Fridays on Watch the Titles: Godard’s Word-play

In part 2 of French Fridays, a new series on Forget the Film, Watch the Titles dedicated to French title design ’50’s – ’80’s, French designer Laure Chapalain takes a closer look at Jean-Luc Godard‘s short typographic main title for Une Femme Est Une Femme (A Woman Is A Woman) – a musical comedy that is widely regarded as Godard’s most accessible film. In these unorthodox and playful titles, Godard mixes the credits with words that prefigure the movie’s spirit.
