=== Jean-Pierre Gorin ===
After the events of [[May 1968 events in France|May 1968]], when the city of Paris saw a total upheaval in response to the "authoritarian [[Charles de Gaulle|de Gaulle]]", and Godard's professional objective was reconsidered, he began to collaborate with like-minded individuals in the filmmaking arena. His most notable collaborator was [[Jean-Pierre Gorin]], a Maoist student of [[Louis Althusser]], [[Michel Foucault]], and [[Jacques Lacan]], who later became a professor of Film Studies at the [[University of California at San Diego]], with a passion for cinema that attracted Godard's attention.{{sfn|Brody|2008}}

Between 1968 and 1973, Godard and Gorin collaborated to make a total of five films with strong Maoist messages. The most prominent film from the collaboration was ''[[Tout Va Bien]]'' (1972). The film starred [[Jane Fonda]], who was, at the time, the wife of French filmmaker [[Roger Vadim]]. Fonda was at the height of her acting career, having won an [[Academy Award]] for her performance in ''[[Klute]]'' (1971), and had gained notoriety as a left-wing anti-war activist. The male lead was the legendary French singer and actor [[Yves Montand]], who had appeared in prestigious films by [[Henri-Georges Clouzot|Georges Clouzot]], Alain Résnais, [[Sacha Guitry]], [[Vincente Minelli]], [[George Cukor]], and [[Costa-Gavras]].{{sfn|Brody|2008}}
