FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Jean-Luc Godard - La Chinoise
Not Andy_Warhol, but Jean-Luc Godard created the first masterpiece of pop art and it's called La Chinoise! Godard seemed obsessed by the student movement of Paris May '68 and by Mao - hence this is about a group of Maoists around that time. A film that wants to be understood, rather, to stimulate the mind. Head cinema. Most of those who worship Godard's early work had to come across it. Godard never did anything like this again before or after. And the press? "Feels like a trial run for the May 1968 revolution. See it by any means necessary!" - Time Out New York "Amazing! Like a speed freak's anticipatory vision of the political horrors to come!" - Pauline Kael. La Chinoise is an abstract documentary about would-be revolutionaries. I've often talked to my father and his brothers about this time and believe I'll actually find them in La Chinoise. The Nouvelle Vague became a new realism. Godard apparently also interspersed autobiographical elements - not least his second wife, Anne Wiazemsky, plays the leading role alongside Jean-Pierre Léaud. Why can you still see La Chinoise today? Because the film is also quite funny, but above all STYLISH! And last but not least a Dostojewski adaptation, as I found out through wikipedia.
