Audience Member With this film, and the many others he created while in the Dziga Vertov film group, Godard creates a new cinematic language, challenging his audience to engage with the political and ideological thought at the time. This film is raw, confronting, and above all, intriguing. This is a film like no other. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review eric b This is perhaps the first of Jean-Luc Godard's absurdly unwatchable films. A handful of radical students sit in some tall weeds and discuss the mechanics of revolution, while sporadic, silent, black-and-white footage of street violence and classroom discussion inserts itself now and then. The dialogue is not about what they're revolting against -- more often, just how to organize and mobilize. Much of the dialogue concerns how to coordinate the workers and students into a unified body. It's possible Godard is ridiculing these students' pointless yammering on some level and would prefer them to be throwing rocks through windows somewhere. As for me, I found myself crossing my fingers for the movie to end with automatic sprinklers turning on and dowsing the kids. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sur un terrain a cote de l'usine Renault-Flins, JLG filme une conversation entre quelques etudiants et ouvriers ayant participe aux evenements de mai-juin 68. Ils evoquent le travail, la culture, l'art, la revolution, la necessite de la violence, dans un serieux desordre. Ce n'est evidemment pas un film comme les autres, c'est une autre maniere de faire du cinema, de le concevoir comme un instrument de pensee et de lutte.
