1970年4月13日，巴黎。两个剧团各自排演着埃斯库罗斯剧作的先锋改编作品。一名年轻的聋哑人在咖啡馆里边吹奏口琴边乞讨零钱。一名年轻女子通过引诱男性实施盗窃。随着一桩阴谋逐渐显现，这些主角们的故事开始交织缠绕。

A documentary filmmaker goes to work on a project about Tunisians who have worked abroad. Many have married French women, and the couples try to adjust to France after many years in Tunisia. The man decides to forego the film in order to address the personal and social concerns of the people trying to cope in their new surroundings. This feature appeared at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.

The plot is set in a post apocalyptic Junkyard where people take refuge from authority and are able to practice their fantasies and fetishes without being stopped by the police. These people are led by Emanou who is a sort of Messiah, who promises music rather than salvation.

Henri Rainier has everything a man could want. A glamorous wife, two beautiful daughters and a well-paid job with a large bank. Then, one day, his entire world collapses. In the wake of a high-profile financial scandal, he is summoned into his director's office and accused of negligence. Rainier has no choice but to resign, but he soon realises that he has been made a scapegoat. He begins his own investigation in an attempt to clear his name and discover who is responsible for the enormous hole in the bank's finances. It soon becomes apparent that he is up against a very powerful and dangerous opponent.

Juliet arrives in Paris to study in university. Strange occurrences happen wherever she stays.

This is an affecting story about a father's attempts to mend the breaches in the relationship between himself and his 10-year-old daughter. Emmanuel (Sami Frey) is the father of Elise (Mara Goyet) by his first marriage, and the stepfather of an older daughter by his second marriage. He tries to make the best of both family relationships by taking off to visit his young daughter on the weekends, but that only makes his new family a little jealous - especially his stepdaughter. She herself is confused about her own relationship with him. After a particularly emotional send-off one weekend, Emmanuel and Elise take a trip from the south of France into Spain, working on a film project. Through a series of round-about conversations, Emmanuel manages to open up a few channels of communication with Elise - channels that expand even wider when he uses the technique of talking into her video camera to express thoughts and feelings that otherwise would have remained hidden.

The film was to be a documentary, but evolved during production to a fictional film. It nevertheless adheres strictly to the poems and letters exchanged by two of the most outstanding names of the Modernist Movement, Fernando Pessoa (in Lisbon) and Mário de Sá-Carneiro (in Paris). Their endless conversation was dramatically and suddenly terminated.

Originally produced as Out 1, noli me tangere (1971) with a running time of 13 hours. Later edited to 4 1/2 hours and retitled for general release.

幕后制作
本片导演白尔托是演员出身，拍片四十余部，是一个富有才华的电影编导和演员。《雪》是她执导的第一部长故事片，她自己主演。这部影片通过警方缉拿贩毒这一线索，暴露了巴黎毕迦尔地区的种种丑恶的社会实况，该片同其它揭露吸毒贩的影片不同，编剧没有把吸毒贩表现为一群穷凶极恶的人，相反，而是对他们寄予一定程度的同情，显然，这部作品的主题不在于单纯揭露吸毒贩的罪恶，而在于揭露产生这些人物的整个社会。

利用很浅的景深以及局部特写把大型涂鸦、壁画和现实街景实现融合,或者壁画模特走到前景与背景的人物轮廓重合,这种有趣的视觉游戏与Varda出身摄影有关,或应和了内容:八十年代LA的涂鸦艺术成为不同族群表达和重塑身份的方法-亦是视觉的假象?画外音中的絮语与影片内容组成了标题Mural Mur的双关.

In Godard and Gorin's free interpretation of the Chicago Eight trial, Judge Hoffman becomes Judge Himmler (who doodles notes on Playboy centerfolds), the Chicago Eight become microcosms of French revolutionary society, and Godard and Gorin play Lenin and Karl Rosa, respectively, discussing politics and how to show them through the cinema.

影片以一位已婚的工程师和一位意大利女招待员之间的爱情故事为主要线索，试图把社会政治与电影的职能结合起来。工程师是某党的候选人，他的所作所为完全取决于该党为维护候选人形象而制订的竞选策略，更可悲的是他未能真正深入了解这位意大利姑娘，总是把她视为自己的附庸；最后女方断绝了与他的关系。

　　在20世纪60年代和70年代，德尔芬·塞里格站在国际电影界大牌人物的镜头前。随着视频技术的兴起，她开始让自己的女权主义者与其他电影制片人和活动家卡罗尔·罗索普洛斯合作。1975年和1976年，这对夫妇询问了他们在法国和美国的24位同事——包括朱丽叶·贝托、艾伦·伯斯汀、简·方达、雪莉·麦克莱恩和玛丽亚·施耐德——关于她们在电影业中作为女性的经历。
　　对女演员的采访是一个令人震惊的、不足为奇的时代记录，对在一个忙碌于维护男性幻想机器的行业中工作做出了清醒的评估。赛里格问：“如果你是一个男人，你还会选择成为一个演员吗？“或者”你曾经和另一个女人演过戏吗？如果是，她的角色是竞争对手还是知己？“—从而启动反射过程。令人惊讶的不是答案——类似的缺乏细微的角色和适当的表现在今天仍然非常明显——而是有人曾经问过正确的问题。

这部影片可以说是改编自卢梭写于十八世纪的教育名著《爱弥儿》的电视版。卢梭以一部有关一个叫爱弥儿的儿童的完美教育的小说，来抒发他在教育方面的理念。影片本身则包含两个角色(分别由让-皮埃尔·莱奥及朱莉叶·贝尔托扮演)在暗黑的电视摄影棚内进行的一系列对话。虽然表面看来，这部影片与卢梭的《爱弥儿》似乎没有什么关联，但事实上，它非常接近《爱弥儿》一书的精神，只不过它是以现代手法（卢梭是以小说，戈达尔是以电视节目)来阐述教育的问题。
对戈达尔以及影片中的两个角色而言，教育的根本问题在于能够对日常生活中时刻都在冲击我们的声音和影像提供某些理解。这样的理解必须建立在掌握声音和影像之间关系的基础上，因为除非我们有这样的掌握，否则，套用该片中的对白来说，我们将没办法真正了解、没办法真正制作电视或电影。我们所能做的，只是不断地重复某些声音和影像——由于我们不值这一套语言，所以反被这套语言所控制。不仅电视或电影制作者对这套语言一无所知，观看的观众也同样是一无所知。
正如卢梭的小说提供了我们一种充满想像力的理想教育课程，同样，戈达尔的影片也提出了一套三年的课程，帮助我们去探索、解答影片中任何一个影像或连串影像的组合与声音之间关系的问题。
《快乐的知识》片中所提到的神话般的三年课程，恰好适当地描绘出戈达尔本身在68年之后那三年的活动。引用他影片中的对白来说，从头开始是必要的。更精确地说，一如朱莉叶·贝尔托在片中指出的：折返零点。戈达尔开始进行对电影语言的探究，这或许是电影有史以来最为严谨、最具自觉的一次。

故事由月亮之女与太阳之女为争夺一颗神奇的钻石而展开，钻石可以让获胜者留在地球上，特别是在摩登时代的巴黎。

女演员德尔芬·塞里格和录像艺术家卡罗尔·罗索普洛斯的会面将我们带到20世纪70年代女权主义的中心。她们手中拿着摄像机，用傲慢、不妥协和幽默进行激进的斗争。

影片根据巴尔扎克小说《十三人的故事》改编，时间则搬在1968年法国五月革命之后作为背景，两个剧团分别重排古希腊戏剧《七雄攻忒拜》与《被缚的普罗米修斯》，后者与一个神秘组织“13”有关。这个组织到底是什么性质，又从何而来呢？
