 Tarkovski (October 24); 1+1 (Sympathy for the Devil), Jean-Luc Godard

 (TBA).\n\n“One Plus One (Sympathy for the Devil)” \n1968\nRichard Roud 
 describes One Plus One: "True, the sequences in which The Rolling Stones 
 slowly and painfully elaborate 'Sympathy for the Devil' are both 
 interesting and compellingly shot. True, the scenes of Eve Democracy in the 
 forest, dissolved into a green shade, are lyrical and touching. The Black 
 Power sequences in the junkyard, which at first viewing seem contrived 
 almost to the point of embarrassment, have a way of sticking in the mind 
 like some play from the Theatre of the Ridiculous. Perhaps the point Godard 
 is making is that in our society, in the kind of cinema we have, such 
 sequences must appear ridiculous in order to make clearer the narrowness of 
 our notions of the cinema, its incapacity to picture the contradictions and 
 absurdities of our society. Yet regardless of the effectiveness of certain 
 scenes and sequences, one is left with the feeling that the film as a whole 
 doesn't add up. But this is falling into the trap Godard has set for us: it 
 is not meant to add up, and it won't. The original title was One Plus One 
 and, as Godard said when the producers insisted on dubbing, complete with 
 colour washes, the integral version of the song 'Sympathy for the Devil' 
 over the stretched final image of the film, 'One plus one does not mean one 
 plus one equals two. It means just what it says: one plus one....'" --in 
 Monthly Film Bulletin \n\nDirected and Written by Jean-Luc Godard.
