Synopsis

At a Swiss lakeside resort, a book publisher investigates a mysterious tale: the story of a god-like being entering the body of a man, Simon, to experience physical love with his wife, Rachel. Did this happen? Or is Rachel just covering up her infidelity to her husband?

MUBI's take

Here’s another post-New Wave favorite, and one of Godard’s most philosophically inspired works. Marking his only collaboration with Gérard Depardieu, Oh, Woe Is Me fractures Greek myth and the detective tale to question love and spirit in a fallen world. Legends clash and a strange new film is born.
