Synopsis:

While The Rolling Stones rehearse “Sympathy for the Devil” in the studio, Godard reflects on 1968 society, politics, and culture through five different vignettes. Godard’s documentation of late 1960s Western counter-culture delves into the Black Panthers, referencing works by LeRoi Jones and Eldridge Cleaver. The film explores the role of news media, the mediated image, a growing technocratic society, women’s liberation, the May revolt in France, and the power of language.

Plot Details:

Cutting between three major scenes, including the Rolling Stones in the studio, the film visually intercuts with Eve Democracy (Wiazemsky) using graffiti that combines various organizations, corporations, and ideologies. Godard also examines the role of the revolutionary within Western culture, advocating for the rejection of intellectualization as a means to dismantle Western culture. As he famously stated, “There is only one way to be an intellectual revolutionary, and that is to give up being an intellectual” ([email protected]).

Revolutionary Movements:

In the ’60s, against the backdrop of the Rolling Stones rehearsing and recording “Sympathy for the Devil” from the album “Beggar’s Banquet,” Godard encapsulates the revolutionary spirit of the era. The film intertwines the Stones’ presence with other revolutionary and ideological movements such as Black Power through the Black Panthers, feminism, communism, and even fascism. The narrative unfolds through chapters of a political novel, adding layers to the socio-political commentary within the film (Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).
