 |  |  | | ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
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 to resemble 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 Léaud) 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. Awarded a special jury prize at the 1967 Venice Film Festival. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
