...with U. S. distribution (Columbia) ever in mind-the production won an Academy Award last week for the Best Foreign ( sic ) Film of 1971. Which is a pretty good tip-off that no matter how "controversial" its politics, this pictures poses no political threat to anybody's system. Jean-Luc Godard recently said: "If movie makers were building airplanes, there would be an accident every time one took off. But in the movies, these accidents are called Oscars." Instead of meditating/postulating/lauding on the Artist's manifold intentions, et cetera, since his rudimentary competence is now established, perhaps we should...
...Images: Solanas develops social contradictions by means fundamentally different from those of the other major theorists of the militant cinema, Jean-Luc Godard, who phrases this problem as the necessity to build simple, anti-realist images in order to build a purely dialectical and coherent political analysis. La Hora de los Hornos builds its dialectic in the editing of "found" images, pre-existing appearances (documentary footage, his own and that of others, also stills, paintings, commercials, etc.) that expose contradiction by their relation to each other...

...Montmartre printing plant once each fortnight. There they seize and confiscate every issue of La Cause they can find. But the sly old iconoclast long ago found a secret printing press to publish about 5,000 copies. On publication day, Sartre and a few friends (including Film Directors Jean-Luc Godard and Louis Malle, and his longtime companion, Simone de Beauvoir) pick up the papers, transport them to a side street near St.-Germain-des-Prés, and begin to peddle them. Then the police arrest everyone giving away, selling or reading the paper. Everyone, that is, except prominent...
