Wiki.

Charlotte and Her Boyfriend (French: Charlotte et son Jules, transl. Charlotte and Her Jules) is a 1958 short film by Franco-Swiss director Jean-Luc Godard. It is shot entirely in or from a hotel room, in which Jules (Jean-Paul Belmondo) gives his former girlfriend Charlotte (Anne Collette) a seemingly endless and self-indulgent tirade on her faults and his tribulations. The film's original length was 20 minutes, although it was cut down to 13 by British censors.

Godard directed the film as his second in a series based around two Parisians named Charlotte and Veronique. After a dispute with collaborator Éric Rohmer, Godard wrote the script for Charlotte and Her Boyfriend and enlisted his girlfriend, Anne Collette, to reprise her role as Charlotte. Godard cast Jean-Paul Belmondo as Jules, his first collaboration with the actor. Filming was done entirely in Godard's hotel room.

The film was left undubbed and unfinished until Godard received an offer from Jacques Becker to screen it alongside his next film, although Becker's death precluded this. Godard dubbed Belmondo's lines due to the latter's service in the Algerian War. Godard biographers and film scholars have noted the film's autobiographical elements and homage to Jean Cocteau.
