Crazy Pete Returns
Another chance to view Godard's 1965 romp on the big screen

~ By ANDY KLEIN ~

After two straight weeks of writing appreciative obituaries, it's a
relief to be offered an opportunity to be appreciative of someone
while he's still alive – in this case, the protean, inestimably
influential Jean-Luc Godard, whose endlessly charming and entertaining
1965 Pierrot le fou is being revived for a week at the Nuart.

Among the alternate titles the IMDb gives to Pierrot le fou are Crazy
Pete and Pierrot Goes Wild (which amusingly accidentally suggests Pig
Bodine's pornographic Lucky Pierre Runs Amok in Thomas Pynchon's V.)
The story is theoretically derived from the crime novel Obsession by
American writer Lionel White, whose Clean Break had been the source
for Kubrick's The Killing (1956). One can safely say that the original
book probably had little to do with the plot, for Pierrot barely has
one....
