Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin
French
Criterion 275
The story of a American reporter and her film-director husband as they are trapped in a factory strike. This highly political film looks at the capitalism and the establishment left and showcases the political ideas of both Godard and Jane Fonda, the main actress.
James - I like this movie both for the cinematic qualities (Godard was a major influence on Wes Anderson and this movie shows it) and the political message. The account that He gives in the middle of the film about how he fell out of the radical left explained quite well the feelings I have with politics.
A-
Britney - This is a beautiful film which is easy on the eyes. I loved the long, panning shots that are used more often than not. It is hard to readjust the way you view films, because at times I felt restless and bored compared to faster-paced modern films, but I never disliked it. If it wasn't in France and in French however, I wouldn't have liked it as much.
B+
