The Making of Jean Luc Godard's 'One Plus One'

About This Movie

So, this short film directed by Mike Dibb is really a fascinating glimpse into the chaotic energy of 1968. It's set in Cowdray Park, where Godard was shooting some scenes for 'One Plus One' with the Rolling Stones. You can feel that raw, almost frenetic vibe of the time, which is palpable in the way the camera moves and the way Dibb captures both the band and Godard's unconventional directing style. The pacing is brisk, and it really gives you a sense of the merging worlds of cinema and rock n' roll. It’s not just a making-of, it’s a document of a unique moment in film history—definitely worth a watch if you're into that blend of art and rebellion.

The film was originally aired on BBC2 as part of the arts magazine RELEASE, giving it a unique broadcast history that adds to its allure for collectors. Given its limited exposure and the era it represents, it’s a bit of a gem for those who appreciate the intersection of music and film. While not widely available in standard formats, some collectors have managed to track down rare screenings or archival footage, which enhances its intrigue.
