Description

Mere months before the events of May 1968, French New Wave figurehead Jean-Luc Godard captured the lighter side of left-wing student revolutionaries with his classic LA CHINOISE (1967). A few years later, he tried to create a new kind of radical leftist cinema with BRITISH SOUNDS (1970). Will and Luke compare these two landmarks in a great artist's political awakening; grapple with the ultimate failure of his political project; and consider the cultural contexts from which they emerged. PLUS: the hosts share harrowing stories of living in the crumbling city of Toronto!
