...anguish. His Hamlet is a seismogram of a soul in shock. It is a Hamlet of spleen and sorrow, of fire and ice, of bantering sensuality, withering sarcasm and soaring intelligence.

If they repeatedly defy the court order, they may be cited for contempt any number...
Released in this country last year, Pierrot was made in 1965. This is very important because it should be thought of in the context of his earlier films (Breathless, A woman is a Woman, Contempt), which deal with the more traditional themes of the New Wave movement: man's alienation from his past and future, from his immediate environment and the world around him, and from woman and himself...
