This film examines the evolution of a young Marxist militant and the contradictions between the Marxist and the bourgeois ideology that coexist in her daily life. A voice-off, the voice of the political awareness, carefully inspects the life conditions of this young woman.

In this free interpretation of the Chicago Eight trial, Judge Hoffman becomes Judge Himmler, the Chicago Eight become microcosms of French revolutionary society, and Godard and Gorin play Lenin and Karl Rosa, respectively, discussing politics and how to show them through the cinema.

A postscript film to "Tout va bien", narrated in a back-and-forth style by both Godard and Gorin, the film serves as a 52-minute cinematic essay that deconstructs a single news photograph of Jane Fonda in Vietnam.

Director Jean-Pierre Gorin follows up a news story in this interesting documentary on twin girls, ten years old, who speak to each other in their own language. The girls are shown speaking to each other here, and Gorin has sessions with their therapists, their family, and the specialists who work with the twins. This instance of a language created out of whole cloth is certainly unusual if not unique. (Eleanor Mannikka)

Jean-Pierre Gorin's gripping and unique film about Samoan street gangs in Long Beach, California, is, like other works by the filmmaker, a probing look at a closed community with its own rules, rituals, and language. Part observational documentary, part fiction invisibly scripted and shaped by the director. (Criterion Collection)
