New 4K Restoration!
When Angela (Karina) wants to have a baby, but finds her boyfriend Émile (Brialy) an unwilling participant, she goes to his friend Alfred (Belmondo), proving the lengths to which she’ll go to realize her dream. Festooned with enough eccentric musical moments to satisfy the most avant of gardists, including a Charles Aznavour song almost arbitrarily rocketing on and off the soundtrack and Michel Legrand’s pre-Umbrellas of Cherbourg score thundering into split-second breaks in dialogue, cinematic in-jokes galore, and plenty of anarchic humor, A WOMAN IS A WOMAN is a cinephile’s dream film. – Rialto Pictures
The restoration was produced from the original 35mm negative and sound negative. Scanned in 4K by Hiventy, then color-graded and digitally cleaned to remove imperfections in the original elements. Supervised by Studiocanal’s Sophie Boyer and Jean-Pierre Boiget. Restored with the support of the CNC.
