A Married Woman (French: Une femme mariée), 1964) was the eighth narrative feature film by French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard.

Cast


Censorship

The Married Woman - Godard's original title for his film - was shown at the Venice Film Festival on 8 September 1964. It was well received. Michelangelo Antonioni, whose first colour film Red Desert was also being shown in competition, went up to Godard after the screening and congratulated him. And it was praised by French critics. Cahiers de Cinema, which had not praised Bande a Part, greeted The Married Woman as a major artistic and intellectual work. In September however, the Commission de Controle (the censorship board) voted 13-5, with two abstentions, to ban the film. Objections centred on the title, which the board said implied all married women were adulterous, - and on the film's devotion 'to the salacious illustration of scenes of sexuality'. The commission's reasons were not made public but were relayed to the minister of information, Alain Peyrefitte. He agreed to meet Godard and months of debate and negotiation followed. Godard believed the real problem was political and that 'The people of the commission have sensed that my film attacks a certain mode of life, that of air conditioning, of the prefabricated, of advertising'. Ultimately Godard made a few changes , including the title, though he refused to remove references to concentration camp inmates, that Peyrefitte had wanted. The film was released on December 5. [1]
