Synopsis:
Set during the Algerian War, 'Le Petit Soldat' follows Bruno Forestier (Michel Subor), a disillusioned young deserter who becomes involved in the French nationalist movement. He is ordered to kill an Algerian sympathizer, and although does not hold deep political beliefs, commits the murder and undergoes torture when captured. At the same time, he meets and falls in love with a woman (Anna Karina in her Film debut) who he does not know is fighting for the other side. Godard's controversial follow-up to Breathless, 'Le Petit Soldat' was originally banned from release in France because it refers to the use of torture on both sides, during Algeria's struggle for independence.

Can't watch it - Region locked - Le Petit Soldat review by WD

Spoiler Alert

This must have been a US-only DVD because I couldn't watch it on a UK DVD player.

I don't have anything to say about Godard's film because I didn't get to watch it.
