Le Gai savoir

While alone in an abandoned television studio, two militants, Emile Rousseau (Jean-Pierre Leaud) and Patricia Lumumba (Juliet Berto), have a discourse on language. Referring to spoken word as 'the enemy'--the weapon used by the establishment to confuse liberation movements--the two deconstruct the meanings of sounds and images in an attempt to 'return to zero' and truly experience the joy of learning.
