Dir. Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Henri Roger
Documentary

Jean-Luc Godard brings his firebrand political cinema to the UK, exploring the revolutionary signals in late '60s British society. Constructed as a montage of various disconnected political acts (in line with Godard's then appropriation of Soviet director Dziga Vertov's agitprop techniques), it combines a diverse range of footage, from students discussing The Beatles to the production line at the MG factory in Oxfordshire, burnished with onscreen political sloganeering.

VIBE

A raw, urgent call to arms. This film feels like a fever dream of political discourse, a fragmented, intellectual collage that demands your attention and reflection on societal structures.
