Godard Mon Amour is a Left Bank RomCom about the iconic French "New Wave" director and his teenage paramour. The plot in a nutshell: Jean-Luc Godard (embodied by Louis Garrel) casts Anne Wiazemsky (French actress Stacey Martin) in one of his films and winds up marrying his 17-year-old star. Over the course of their 12 years of marriage, the couple collaborates in some of Godard's best-known films (La Chinoise, Weekend). But as Godard evolves, Anne resolves, and the marriage dissolves.

It's easy to see why Godard would fall for Wiazemsky. She was smart, irresistibly cute, and totally devoted to the director. But devotion can take you only so far.
