Portuguese Premiere
This is Vincent Meessen’s free take on La Chinoise, the 1967 film by Jean-Luc Godard, and a ‘film in progress of making itself’ in Dakar. It is conceived as a re-editing operation of Godard’s film, reallocating its roles and characters, and updating its plot. Although not alive any more, Omar Blondin Diop, the only actual Maoist student in the original, now becomes the key character.
