1:06:04
The joker's a king
and I sing Mao Mao...

1:06:08
Reminds me of pictures
of L'lllustration from 1917,

1:06:12
that treated Bolsheviks as beatniks.
1:06:16
They used the same terms
for the Bolsheviks

1:06:20
as that paper uses for the Red Guard.
1:06:23
You expect Le Figaro
to say that sort of thing.

1:06:27
But when L'Humanite does,
it's disgusting.

1:06:31
OK, there's work to do.
1:06:33
For everyone.
1:06:35
The other day I was reading
L'Humanite Nouvelle.

1:06:40
They talked about the film
Johnny Guitar,

1:06:45
that the Party leaders had shown...
1:06:50
..at a meeting somewhere,
I’m not sure where.

1:06:54
But they attack the film
because it's American,

1:06:59
even if it's good.
1:07:01
So, as Veronique's big enemy,
Malraux says,

1:07:06
liberty doesn't always
have clean hands.

1:07:10
Veronique, what's the matter?
1:07:12
Problems?
1:07:14
I have too many enemies.
1:07:16
Enemies? You? But who?
1:07:20
You know, the warlords,
1:07:22
the bureaucrats,
magnates and landowners

1:07:26
and the reactionary intellectuals.
1:07:28
Those are my enemies.
1:07:31
Well, that makes a lot
of enemies, indeed.

1:07:34
What are you up to?
1:07:36
Not much.
1:07:39
Writing in Les Temps Modernes
as always, and some books.

1:07:42
ENCOUNTER WITH FRANClS JEANSON
and some books.

1:07:48
For this year I have a new project.
1:07:53
What?
1:07:54
I want to do cultural action.
1:07:57
But what's that?
1:07:59
I don't think
anyone really knows yet.
