That was in 1967. Modern eyes may not see originality, but Jean-Luc Godard's prophetic work still rattles. His then wife, Anne Wiazemsky, is among the young revolutionaries planning direct action in Paris, debating the world's injustices with colourful, experimental zeal and trenchant satire. Kael's review concluded, 'It's amazing'.
