Godard's rendering of the Spanish female myth of Carmen transforms her into a modern, bank-robbing, hostage-taking, passionate and blackmailing manipulator. This story is an amalgam of Prosper Mérimé's novel, Jean Girourdoux's Electra and Otto Preminger'a film Carmen Jones. All that on the backdrop of Beethoven's music. (Summer Film School)
