Godard. Le Gai Savoir.

[let me tell you
at the risk
of seeming
ridiculous
that the revolutionary
truly
is
guided by great
feelings of love]

Scenes of Paris’ student revolt, the Vietnam War, and other events of the late 1960s, along with posters, photographs, and cartoons, are backdrops to the words of Patricia Lumumba & Emile Rousseau, the two characters, in Jean-Luc Godard’s “Le Gai Savoir” (1969).

Music: a Cuban revolutionary song.
