The Little Soldier [Le Petit Soldat]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1960. Two vintage borderless reference photographs taken on the set of the 1960 film, one showing director Jean-Luc Godard and a camera crew filming a scene with actor Michel Subor, the other showing Godard and cinematographer Raoul Coutard. With manuscript ink and pencil annotations on the verso.

During the Algerian War, a French agent is ordered to assassinate a member of the National Liberation Front of Algeria (FLN), but cannot complete the mission due to his involvement with a pro-FLN woman. Shot in 1960 but not released until 1963 due to a French ban on torture scenes, thus Godard's second feature film, but fourth to be released.

Set in Algeria, shot on location in Switzerland.

9.5 x 7.25 inches. Near Fine.
