01/14/2015 From the outside looking in, Godard paints for us a fascinating picture of the class struggle in France. It may seem like a PSA for communism, but so much of Godard's masterful technique of storytelling is present here, that it ends up being thoroughly entertaining. This is one of the greatest pieces of propaganda I've ever seen. It's all filmed on a brilliant, towering stage. The characters speak to us directly, as if we are being lectured. If you want a perfect example of why Godard has influenced so many modern filmmakers, take a look at this one. See more 10/05/2014 Sometimes funny, usually obvious. See more 08/01/2014 good stuff year s/b 1972 not '73 See more 04/22/2013 Four Years after the riots on the streets of Paris ,Jean Luc Godard decided to keep the flames of protest alive with this collaboration with Jean Pierre Gorin. The film is as usual packed full of stunning visual ideas and reactionary politics which gives the film a vital and still relevant effect. The film starts with cheques being torn from a cheque book as an unseen hand tries to finance a film which stars Jane Fonda as She and Yves Montard as He who are a married couple who are taken hostage during a strike at a sausage factory. The sausage factory sequence shows the struggle between the workers at the plant and the boss who they also kidnap. Godard allows his actors to direct their politics directly to camera and also uses a cutaway set to shows the actions taking place in the factory,this shows that despite all the vitrol and politics Godard never lets you forget you are watching a film made by a master craftsman. After the seige ends both He and She come out of the ordeal with different chains of thought on what has happened to then and in the films most memorable sequence we follow Fonda backwards and forwards in A supermarket where between the customers purchasing goods ,we see a communist selling little red books at a reduced rate. The film may force its political ideas in places, bu the one thing you can say about a Godard political rant is that they are always a stunning and educational watch .
