Le gai savoir
Institute of Contemporary Arts
Le gai savoir, dir. Jean-Luc Godard, West Germany / France 1969, French with English subtitles, 92 min.


In an abandoned television studio, two people (Juliet Berto and Jean-Pierre Leaud) embark on a series of late night dialogues in an attempt to develop an analysis of the relation between images and sounds, politics and film.

Starring Juliet Berto and Jean-Pierre Leaud, and loosely adapting Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Émile, Le gai savoir is in the words of the films characters and Godard himself an attempt to 'return to zero'.
