Comments

In this premonitory account of the events of May 1968, Jean-Luc Godard describes a band of students, who, installed well in a comfortable apartment, discuss the merits of the thought of Mao Zedong and in the best manner of making triumph his ideas in France.
Godard, in this film, knew very well to collect the air of this time, on bottom of colonialism and American intervention to the Vietnam, to denounce contradictions and the limits of an action which however made tremble some certainty.
