| Before his convention-shattering debut, Breathless, had even premiered, Jean-Luc Godard leapt into the making of his second feature, a thriller that would tackle the most controversiaI subject in France: the use of torture in the Algerian War. Despite his Iack of poIiticaI convictions, photojournalist Bruno Forestier (MicheI Subor) is roped into a paramilitary group waging a shadow war in Geneva against the Algerian independence movement. Anna Karina (in her first coIlaboration with Godard, whose camera is visibIy besotted with her) is beguiIing as the mysterious woman with whom Forestier becomes infatuated. Banned for two and a haIf years by French censors for its depiction of brutal tactics on the part of the French government and the Algerian fighters alike, Le petit soldat finds the young Godard already retooling cinema as a vehicIe for existential inquiry, poIitical argument, and ephemeral portraiture—in other words, as a medium for delivering "truth twenty-four times per second." BLU-RAY SPEClAL EDlTION FEATURES • High-definition digital restoration, approved by cinematographer Raoul Coutard, with uncompressed monauraI soundtrack • lnterview with director Jean-Luc Godard from 1965 • Interview with actor Michel Subor from 1963 • Audio interview with Godard from 1961 • New English subtitIe transIation • PLUS: An essay by critic NichoIas EIliott |
