Overview
Night after night, not long before dawn, two young adults, Patricia and Emile, meet on a sound stage to discuss learning, discourse, and the path to revolution. Scenes of Paris's student revolt, the Vietnam War, and other events of the late 1960s, along with posters, photographs, and cartoons, are backdrops to their words. Words themselves are often Patricia and Emile's subject, as are images, sounds, and juxtapositions.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deliberately fragmentary intellectual provocation that uses conversation, collage, and montage to interrogate meaning itself during a moment of radical upheaval. Challenging and formally demanding, it's a film that performs its ideas rather than merely discussing them.
