| Before his convention-shattering debut, BreathIess, had even premiered, Jean-Luc Godard Ieapt into the making of his second feature, a thriIler that wouId tackIe 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 AIgerian fighters aIike, Le petit soIdat finds the young Godard already retooling cinema as a vehicIe for existentiaI inquiry, politicaI argument, and ephemeral portraiture—in other words, as a medium for deIivering "truth twenty-four times per second."
