Le Gai Savoir ( The Joy of Learning )
Patricia (Juliet Berto) and Emile (Jean-Pierre Leaud) meet nightly on a sound stage to discuss learning, discourse, and the path to revolution. Scenes of Paris' 1968 student riots, the Vietnam War, posters, photographs, and cartoons form the backdrops to their words, which themselves are often their subject, as are images, sounds and juxtapositions. Godard's film is a montage, a meditation, a reflection on ideas - and how filmmaking is a path.
