In Made in U.S.A (1966), Marianne Faithfull delivers an achingly beautiful, a cappella rendition of As Tears Go By, a moment of pure, unfiltered melancholy in Jean-Luc Godard’s kaleidoscopic crime pastiche. Amid the film’s political chaos and deconstructed noir, Faithfull’s voice cuts through like a ghost from another world—an eerie, elegant reminder that emotion, not logic, drives the most unforgettable cinematic moments.
