| East Bay ExpressKelly Vance1972 short feature remains one of the era's most provocative political pieces. |
| User ReviewGerret WThe best film ever put to celluloid. Not a single frame wasted. |
| User ReviewAlex BIt's also Obama's (New Deal) expression--a pose of (empty) thoughtfulness ("I [pretend to] feel your pain"). Find/make contradictory not eternal truth! |
| User ReviewFlike SIn what was the last collaboration between Godard and Gorin, we see probably one of the purest stabs at political cinema around. It's simplistic, radical, and almost hard to bear at times. The thought provoking dialogue and minimal use of images, including the key image of Jane Fonda, makes this nothing short of a thought provoking piece of artwork. Whether in disagreement or agreement, this is definitely a very important piece of cinema to analyze. |
