“It’s a film about history and its power to transform the individual.”—Jean-Pierre Gorin
Godard and Gorin cowrote and codirected this 1972 feature, which, unlike their previous films together, has two famous stars in the cast—Jane Fonda and Yves Montand, both famous for their politics, as well as their films. They portray He and She: a film director who has turned to TV commercials, and an American radio correspondent in Paris. He and She become leaders of a labor uprising in a large factory in France. “A film by turns melancholy and antic, the peak of Godard and Gorin’s partnership, inspired by Jerry Lewis in general and The Ladies Man in particular” (Lincoln Center).
• Written by Godard, Gorin. Photographed by Armand Marco. With Jane Fonda, Yves Montand, Vittorio Capprioli. (95 mins, In English and French with English subtitles, Color, 35mm, From Contemporary Films)
