Pierrot Le Fou

Pierrot Le Fou is a film of a failing relationship. Here we have two people married, living a good comfortable life and with children. Ferdinand (Jean-Paul Belmondo) becomes tired of his comfortable life. He then leaves his family and his wife whit Marianne (Anna Karina) who he had an affair with a few years back. My guess is the life on the edge type of person as Anna portrays. She also has connections with the underworld.
As the affair seems to be going just fine a dead body is discovered in Anna’s apartment and the two lovers flee as they go to the south of France to avoid being involved in whatever is going on. There, Ferdinand is just fine with reading and writing poetry. As time goes on Marianne becomes bored and impatience so she leaves to go be with her brother who is a gun runner.
I liked this movie because it had action as well as love and passion. Here you have the perfect storybook marriage only to have the husband get so complacent that he feels the relationship is boring. To me this is the typical what goes around comes around, which means if you do wrong it will come back around and bite you in the rear end. As we found in the end when another dead body was found Ferdinand was the first person in question.
