I’ll say this for Jean-Luc Godard- he always manages to be divisive. Last week’s quote was taken from the ending of Godard’s 1965 lark Pierrot le Fou, and while some contestants had no trouble guessing the source of the quote- one player even went so far as to call it the easiest quiz yet- others had considerably more difficulty. Perhaps this is due to the film not being made in English- after all, it’s not like you can simply hear those lines in your head, right? Or maybe it was just hard to remember anything that followed Jean-Pierre Belmondo’s explosive final scene. Either way, congrats to those who guessed it.
Well, we’re halfway through the round now, and it’s still anyone’s game to win. Gift cards good for $25 from The Criterion Store await the top three finishers in this contest, and one could use these to purchase one of any number of fine DVDs, including Pierrot le Fou. From here on out, I’ll try to make them a little more challenging, although how much more remains to be seen. Here’s this week’s quote:
“From here on in, I rag on nobody.”
