Three disparate souls - Paul Godard (Jacques Dutronc), Paul's ambivalent lover Denise (Nathalie Baye) and Isabelle (Huppert), a self-possessed country girl turned city prostitute - cross paths in Godard's wry yet beguilingly lyrical rumination on the notion of selling oneself.
Godard referred to Sauve qui peut (la vie) as his "second first film" coming, as it did, after more than a decade's experimentation with video.
"Isabelle is clearly the film's focal point.A stunning, original work" The New York Times
