Chinoise, La

La Chinoise centres upon a small group of Parisian students who debate the cultural revolution in China and contemplate how Maoist principles and terrorist activities could be used to revolutionise Western politics.

Starring Godard's ex-wife Anne Wiazemsky and Truffaut favourite Jean-Pierre Léaud, La Chinoise also features the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen and the cinematography of Godard’s nouvelle vague counterpart Raoul Coutard. La Chinoise is frequently very funny and was awarded a special jury prize at the 1967 Venice Film Festival.

Extra DVD Features:
• Introduction by Colin MacCabe, film critic and author of "Godard: Portrait of the Artist at Seventy"

"Like a speed-freak's anticipatory vision of the political horrors to come; its amazing"
Pauline Kael

"Godard's brilliant dialectical farce, distinctly disquieting as well as gratingly funny."
