This film marks the return to a more traditional fiction, with two stars in the leading roles, Yves Montand and Jane Fonda, even if the synopsis is marked by a long sequence of a strike in a factory with the kidnapping of a manager." -https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tout_va_bien (machine translation) "The Dziga Vertov Group is a film collective founded in 1968 by Jean-Luc Godard and Jean-Pierre Gorin to produce militant films of a Maoist orientation. The collective's name refers to the Soviet director Dziga Vertov (1896-1954), his cine-oeil (Kino-Glaz or Ciné-Eye) and his cinéma-vérité, but it is also influenced by the ideas of Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956). All the films are signed collectively. ... The films produced by the group were described by critics of the time as abstract, intellectualist, formally ugly and unbearably heavy compared to Godard's previous films. For almost two decades, they literally disappeared from biographies of the Franco-Swiss director until they were rediscovered, thanks to the distance of time (and the restoration of prints); today, critics see in them a continuous aesthetic vertigo, a rigorous formal experimentation and an investigation into the language of cinema. ... The collective acronym appears rather in conferences, interviews and written texts. Its slogan is the intention 'not to make political films, but to make films politically', which is obviously the culmination of a Godardian evolution going from "Brechtian" films ('Les Carabiniers') to investigative films ('Two or Three Things I Know About Her' or 'Masculin Féminin') and up to political didactic films ('La Chinoise' and 'Le Gai Savoir'). Concretely, its slogan means that if a film is not 'politically thought out' from its production, it cannot play an effective political role; at most, it can have a consoling function, for example galvanizing activists or shocking democratic spectators with police brutality." -https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groupe_Dziga_Vertov (machine translation) Thu, 09 Apr 2026 03:55:35 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/4071fc97-fd97-4c99-b751-9d0fbddfa76b All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
