7/10
childish revolutionary movements of Students
23 January 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Godard's protagonists carry cigarettes in their hand or mouths and are careless roamers, La chinoise is not an exception.

Small red books are everywhere. the book shelves are full of it, and the revolutionary students are reading passages out of it. Godard, throughout the film bores audience by reading the passages from these books to convince people that these proverbial sentences are nothing but boresome youth time killer political clichés.

Since no one expect Godard to lecture us through a film, the important thing is the overall story. Students are romantising the revolution and politics.

The movie contains many references to the then political and ideological events in the world. Godard very frankly and childishly narrate the revolutionary students movements. They are at the end students, living in student quartiers and eating bread and tartiner.

This is a film about childish aspect of revolutionary student movements. In the movie there are a lot of scenes that need to be connected..
