| A swiftly paced satire that incorporates Godard's advocacy of Maoist principles, La Chinoise may be one of Godard's most explicitly political works, but that doesn't preclude it from also being amongst his most accessible and enjoyable.
Largely eschewing a linear narrative in favour of a collage of slogans and conversations, the 'plot' centres upon a small group of Parisian students (amongst them Godard's then-wife Anne Wiazemsky and Truffaut favourite Jean-Pierre Leaud) who discuss the implications of the cultural revolution in China and how it may be possible to effect, by means of terrorism, a similar political and cultural upheaval in the West.
Featuring the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen and the cinematography of Godard's nouvelle vague counterpart Raoul Coutard. La Chinoise also pays meticulous detail to design so as to include all the traditional accoutrements of Maoism. Frequently very funny (Godard also scripted), the film was to also act as an acute analysis of the motivations behind the events of May 1968. Awarded a special jury prize at the 1967 Venice Film Festival, the film appears on DVD for the first time. |
