Summary
<p>A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.</p><p>After the upheaval of 1968, Jean-Luc Godard said goodbye to commercial cinema to create a new kind of radical Marxist filmmaking. With TOUT VA BIEN (1972), Godard and his filmmaking partner Jean-Pierre Gorin tried to meet the audience halfway. Taking place in a moment when the student protests, the French New Wave, and even Godard's own militant phase were receding from view, this fascinating Brechtian exercise starring Jane Fonda and Yves Montand may or may not have room for optimism. PLUS: bold predictions about the incoming Biden administration, and the politics of another cinematic legend: James Bond.<br /><br />Check out our Patreon for exclusive bonus episodes: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus" rel="nofollow">https://www.patreon.com/michaelandus</a></p>
