Good Morning Lovelies, 

Jean-Luc Godard is a director known for pushing the boat out with his feature films. Shocking scripts and incredible acting, made those within his films remember able, which is why Arrow Films have selected five of his best pieces to star alongside one another in a new box set series.

The whole team comes together in each film to bring a scary look at a politically charged world that isn’t sure what to do and it is this that makes you sit up and take notice.
