Editorial Reviews

From the mind of Luc Moullet, the unknown genius of the original French New Wave, comes this pair of riotous comedies that capture the movement’s spirit of anarchy. THE SMUGGLERS is the story of two women who smuggle packages and people between two warring nations. A wacky take on the action-adventure tale, the film exploits its low-budget look to offer a digressive and aggressive slapstick comedy. Called "maybe the best film not made by Godard" by Jean-Marie Straub, Europe’s leading intellectual filmmaker, this movie about borders and barriers sports a cameo appearance by Moullet himself, who is listed in the credits as the "pompous fool." Jean-Pierre Leaud, the iconic actor of the French New Wave (the "Antoine Doinel series") stars in this notorious, psychedelic French western. Swinging wildly between offbeat comedy and delirious experimentation, A GIRL IS A GUN finds gunslinger Leaud on the run in the Alps. Never released in France, but distributed outside the country, the film is an unsettling tale of lust and revenge loosely based on old Hollywood westerns.
