Godard’s lively meditation on the Chicago 7 conspiracy trial, women’s liberation, and the Black Power movement is a brilliant pastiche of fiction filmmaking, political analysis, and street theater—what Stanley Kauffmann of The New Republic described as “flashes of the Marx Brothers and Brecht.” Godard himself appears in the film to expound on the challenges of translating revolutionary political theory into revolutionary cinema.
