Everything's All Right

Tout va bien places Fonda and Montand in the roles of Her and Him, that is, a modern couple representative of the middle-class global bourgeoisie circa 1972. She s a radio journalist at the French bureau of the American Broadcasting System; he s an advertisement director who before 68 s social upheavals served as a Nouvelle Vague screenwriter. Through Fonda s and Montand s star-personas, Godard and Gorin investigate how the sausage is made , both metaphorically (movie financing) and literally (industrial food processing), in the process questioning what it means to be involved or engaged socially, politically, and romantically.
