About Oh, Woe Is Me
This complex allegorical tale tells the story of man’s quest for spiritual meaning. When God enters the body of 1980s filmmaker Simon Donnadieu, his wife Rachel realizes that something has gone awry, but chooses to remain faithful to her erratically-behaving husband.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard, Oh, Woe Is Me leans on a strong ensemble — Gérard Depardieu, Laurence Masliah, Bernard Verley — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1993.
