Short description

Set in Paris in 1967, this romantic drama follows the relationship between filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard and actress Anne Wiazemsky. The two fall in love and marry during the production of the film La Chinoise. Their personal happiness is eventually challenged by the negative reception of the movie, which sparks a personal crisis for Godard. As the events of May 1968 unfold, he undergoes a deep transformation, shifting from a prominent cinema figure toward Maoist political activism.

The film was written and directed by Michel Hazanavicius, appearing as the sixth feature in his career. The movie stars Louis Garrel as Godard and Stacy Martin as Wiazemsky, with Bérénice Bejo also in the main cast. A joint production between France and Myanmar, the project had a budget of 13 million USD.

Audience reception has been moderately positive, with the film holding a 6.6 rating on IMDb from 6,300 votes and a matching 6.6 on TMDB from 376 votes. This viewer sentiment is higher than the score given by film critics, who rated the movie 5.8 based on 89 reviews.
