...LIFE TO LIVE. In his fourth film, the first to reach the U.S. since Breathless, French Director Jean-Luc Godard has compiled another dazzling textbook of cinema technique, and has composed a lyric poem of images about a woman who sells her body and saves her soul...
Corruption in the Palace of Justice, by Ugo Betti, is about that debased fallen being called Man, who, in some unassailable corner of his tarnished soul, yearns for, reflects, and presupposes a radiant otherness called God.

She abandons her young husband and their baby and takes a job as a salesgirl. Careless with money, she falls behind in her rent. Locked out of her flat, she spends one night with one young man, another with another. After a while, sick of being broke, she accepts some francs for her franchise. The money is nice...
