The Seven Deadly Sins

1962 · Directed by Jean-Luc Godard

Seven directors each dramatize one of the seven deadly sins in a short film. In Anger, a domestic argument over a fly in the Sunday soup escalates into nuclear war. In Sloth, a movie star would rather pay someone to tie his shoe than bend over to do it himself, and he can't be bothered to accept a starlet's sexual favors. In Gluttony, a peasant family on its way to the funeral of a relative who died from indigestion stops regularly to eat and drink en route, arriving in time to eat some more. In Greed, a high-class prostitute refunds the price of a cadet's lottery ticket. In Pride, an unfaithful wife finds reason to reform. And so on through lust and envy.
