PASSAGES

La Chinoise
Jean-Luc Godard | Letterboxd | 1967


Jean-Luc Godard, the legendary film director that helped usher in the French New Wave, died earlier this week through assisted suicide.

Here’s the description of the film from Kanopy: “Paris, 1967. Disillusioned by their suburban lifestyles, a group of middle-class students, led by Guillaume (Jean-Pierre Léaud) and Veronique (Anne Wiazemsky), form a small Maoist cell and plan to change the world by any means necessary. After studying the growth of communism in China, the students decide they must use terrorism and violence to ignite their own revolution. Director Jean-Luc Godard, whose advocacy of Maoism bordered on intoxication, infuriated many traditionalist critics with this swiftly paced satire.” (96 minute watch)
