	Movies - Tout va bien

Tout va bien is a 1972 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard and collaborator Jean-Pierre Gorin starring Jane Fonda and Yves Montand.

The film centers around a strike at a sausage factory witnessed by the an American reporter and her French husband, who is a film director. The film is overtly Marxist and very brechtian in its formal qualities, which involve nondiagetic inserts and emphasis on the motion of the camera. The set of the factory consists of a cross-section of the building and allows the camera to dolly back and forth from room to room, theoretically through the walls. This technique makes the factory look like an ant farm, and serves the overarching Marxist agenda.

Godard and Gorin followed this up with Letter to Jane, an essay film which attacked Jane Fonda's political stances on the Vietnam War.
