Grzegorz Nadgrodkiewicz
Tragicomedy dell’arte, or Pierrotade a la Godard
Nadgrodkiewicz reflects on the phenomenon of the dura
bility of a cultural model, i.e. commedia dell’arte with its
central characters - Pierrot and Columbine. He detects
this cultural pattern in Jean-Luc Godard’s Pierrot le fou
(1965). In Godard’s film this model takes on the form of
a peculiar tragic-comedy dell’arte. Ferdinand, the main
hero, and his lover Marianne hide their true faces under
masks isolating them from the world. They permanently
get involved in absurd and grotesque situations, and a
series of circumstances leads them inevitably towards the
tragic end. Their flight from Paris, car thefts, gunrunning,
assaults and unhappy love lead towards death, their final
fate. The film is strongly placed in Mediterranean tradi
tion and the pop culture of the 1960s, and its heroes are
young people of their time. They have no illusions, are
witty and smart, ruthless and self-ironic but desperately
helpless in the face of society-imposed commands. Their
clownish revolt is doomed to disaster.
