1976. Jean-Luc Godard et Anne-Marie Miéville adoptent l'outil télévision pour mieux en dénoncer le contenu. Ils réalisent à Grenoble en 1975-1976 une série de six programmes de cent minutes, divisés chacun en deux émissions, pensée en vue d'une diffusion destinée au plus grand nombre. Véritable réflexion sur les moyens de communication, la série dénonce les médias « qui étouffent le vrai » pour proposer en contrepartie une télévision autre, plus proche des réalités sociales et plus critique.

During the making of a video film about a communist printing press, a union member and a leftist activist discuss how to present their information, especially how to caption two specific images: one of a protest in Portugal, the other of a strike in France. One of them decides to write to his son, a manual worker living outside of Paris with his girlfriend, telling the young man about his troubles.

A young woman tries to go to Paris, but her garden and the whole village is flooded with water.

A politically oriented film in which images suggestive of a mock western are accompanied by an attack on all cinematic conventions to date and a debate on the nature and possibility of revolutionary cinema.

Agnès, a bourgeois young woman from Geneva, writes a letter to a friend, telling how she ended up cheating on her husband. Fascinated by the attitudes and gestures adopted by a prostitute to attract clients, Agnès decides to imitate her and seduces the first man she sees, sitting on a garden bench.

A daring deconstruction of consumerist behavior featuring a robot and Miss Clio Darty, with a voiceover by Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville, this philosophical "report," like so many of Godard's commissions, was rejected by its funders.

Godard blends elements of literature, cinema and other artistic medias from different historical periods in order to make a stance on how words can be subverted and manipulated to many different contexts, sometimes bearing a similar significance to the original material or even creating an alternate context.

Commissioned by the heads of the 2000 Cannes Film Festival to make an opening-night short commemorating cinema as it enters its second full century, Godard instead offers up a 17-minute barrage of re-edited footage of wars and Nazi atrocities, interspersed with clips of Maurice Chevalier in "Gigi" and Godard's own "À bout de souffle."
