![]() The glamour has gone out of television for Denise. Denise (Nathalie Baye), who works with Paul and has been having an intense, quite unsatisfactory affair with him, is thinking about changing her life by a move to the country. ![]() He is separated from his wife and skeptical, 12-year-old daughter, though they are on speaking terms. Paul (Jacques Dutronc), a shrewd, good-looking young man with a strong sense of style and his own importance, which is paramount, works in a Swiss television station. Rather it's about this particular time and place in history as reflected in a series of cockeyed ephiphanies and paradoxes. Though it's primarily about Paul, Denise and Isabelle, as well as about amorous bellboys, patient pimps, lecherous businessmen, opera singers who won't shut up, modern milkmaids and total strangers, it's not a story in any familiar way. IT would be misleading to say that Jean-Luc Godard's brilliant new comedy, ''Every Man for Himself,'' the French title of which is ''Sauve Qui Peut/La Vie,'' is the story of Paul, Denise and Isabelle. ![]()
