During the making of one of his films, French film director Jean-Luc Godard falls in love with 17-year old actress Anne Wiazemsky and later marries her.
Reducing Godard to an advertising colour palette of primary reds and blues, Le Redoubtable is a crude, pointless exercise with no comprehension of Godard's filmmaking, cinema history, or, indeed, life itself.
Le Redoutable is a jokey Wikipedia cartoon of a biopic, skin deep in its character study and aggressively amused by its own barrage of Trivial Pursuit winks.
... Redoubtable fails on its own terms, falling short of the basic task of generating cinematic excitement and interest even out of the historic events which are more than the background to its story.
Havanicius sprays his subject with acid wit, and will delight cinéastes with several cunning pastiches of Godard's film-making style, though it's difficult to imagine that the venerable auteur, now 86, will see the joke.
Although it's probably not the film hardcore Godard fans wanted, Redoubtable is a funny, paint-by-numbers biopic about a man who revolutionized cinema as we know it, and remains a significant attempt nonetheless.
Choosing to ignore abuse, and taking away Anne's voice and agency in order to give a fuller view to Hazanavicius' beloved, Le Redoutable becomes much worse than a simple empty pastiche, verging into its own misogyny.
On the whole Redoubtable offers its audience way more than they bargained for with its genuinely impressive period representation of the events of 68, but it is ultimately let down but not quite knowing what it wants to be.
