Cristiana Tullio-Altan

A deep dive into Glauber Rocha's years exiled in Italy in the 70s. Through a collection of interviews and archives, the movie shows the making of his film Claro (1975) and his relation with European auteurs in their filmic and political views.

The journey of an intellectual Creole. Before returning from Lisbon to Luanda, he stops in the Cape Verde islands in search of his ethnic and cultural roots.

In the words of the director, a movie about 'the colonizers in the view of the colonized', the movie presents a series of disconnected happenings throughout Europe and Brazil emphasizing the perception of human life as trance-like experiences and thus offering a view of the human history as a connection of symbolic behavior.

Фильм начинается с Жюли, молодой рыжеволосой женщины, сидящей на скамейке и читающей книгу. Она замечает экстравагантную девушку с длинным шарфом, который та роняет в парке. Жюли бежит, чтобы вернуть его, но не может догнать Селин, теряющую всё больше вещей. Но наконец, они знакомятся и начинают свои проделки в параллельной реальности.

When the police find Simone seated near her husband's corpse it is predictable that she is charged with the murder. Jean-Pierre Laubray is appointed counsel for the defence. He begins an inquiry into the case and he finds out that the murdered man had killed a barman in a robbery the night before. He finds out as well he was a leg-man of Cristiani's for his election campaign. He tries to contact Juliette, Cristiani's daughter, and he discovers that Bruno, Juliette's brother, also died that same night in a car accident...

События фильма разворачиваются в 1972 г. В центре сюжета— забастовка на колбасной фабрике, свидетелями которой становятся американская журналистка и ее муж, некогда популярный режиссер «новой волны». Используя многообразные приемы отстранения, Годар и Горен вскрывают структуры общества, кино, любви и революции, схематично описывая логику классовой борьбы во Франции после майских событий 1968 г.

The film reveals how and why a supposedly revolutionary Italian girl has in fact fallen prey to bourgeois ideology.

A politically oriented film in which images suggestive of a mock western are accompanied by an attack on all cinematic conventions to date and a debate on the nature and possibility of revolutionary cinema.
