All the Boys Are Called Patrick (1959)
All the Boys Are Called Patrick (1959)
Overview
An early Jean-Luc Godard short from 1959, this 21-minute French comedy follows a charming womanizer named Patrick who, without knowing it, courts two young women who share an apartment. The setup is breezy and light, more interested in Parisian flirtation than in any social argument. The Leans Traditional label reflects what the film simply is: a product of late-1950s French cinema with conventional romantic dynamics, no political framing, no identity themes, and no challenge to existing social norms. The humor comes from coincidence rather than subversion. For Godard completists, it is a curio from just before the French New Wave broke open. For everyone else, it is a short, pleasant comedy with a one-joke premise.
