La Chinoise
Jean-Luc Godard
France - 1967 - 90’
Starring
Anne Wiazemsky,
Jean-Pierre Léaud,
Juliet Berto,
Michel Semeniako, Lex De Bruijn.
La Chinoise (1967) saw Godard at his most politically forthright so far. The film focused on a group of students and engaged with the ideas coming out of the student activist groups in contemporary France. Released just before the May 1968 events, the film is thought by some to foreshadow the student rebellions that took place. The screening will be followed by a discussion with actress and writer Anne Wiazemsky, on the occasion of the publication of her new novel Mon enfant de Berlin (Gallimard).

Eric Rohmer
France - 1959 - 100’
