La Chinoise
A movie in the making.
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
Produced by Anouchka Films, Les Productions de la Guéville
An experimental, intellectually provocative Godardian essay-film that uses playful formal disruption and ideological debate to interrogate revolutionary politics, student radicalism, and the gap between theory and action.
A small group of French students are studying Mao, trying to find out their position in the world and how to change the world to a Maoistic community using terrorism.
