Joy of Learning
- 28 June 1969 (1969-06-28)
Joy of Learning (French: Le Gai savoir) is a 1969 film by Jean-Luc Godard.[1] The shooting started before the events of May 68 and was finished shortly afterwards. Coproduced by the O.R.T.F., the film was upon completion rejected by French national television, then released in the cinema where it was subsequently banned by the French government. The film is an adaptation of Emile, or On Education, Jean-Jacques Rousseau's treatise on education,[2] and its title is a reference to Nietzsche's The Gay Science.[3] The film was entered into the 19th Berlin International Film Festival.[4]
Plot
Patricia and Émile meet at night in the middle of nowhere. While reading, listening to the radio and absorbing and discussing the information they are retrieving, they develop mutual beliefs not revealed before, opening a exchange not just on content but on how ideas are shared.
