''Tout va bien'' is a 1972 film directed by Jean-Luc Godard and collaborator Jean-Pierre Gorin and starring Jane Fonda and Yves Montand. The film's title means "everything goes well." It was released in the United States under the title "All's Well" and internationally under the title "Just Great."〔(Release dates for ''Tout va bien'' ) at IMDb.〕 The Godard and Gorin collaboration continued with the featurette ''Letter to Jane'' as a postscript to ''Tout va bien''. ==Overview== The film centers on a strike at a sausage factory which is witnessed by an American reporter and her French husband, who is a commercial director. The film has a strong political message which outlines the logic of the class struggle in France in the wake of the May 1968 civil unrest. It also examines the social destruction caused by capitalism. The performers in ''Tout va bien'' employ the Brechtian technique of distancing themselves from the audience. By delivering an opaque performance, the actors draw the audience away from the film's diegesis and towards broader inferences about the film's meaning. The factory set consists of a cross-sectioned building and allows the camera to dolly back and forth from room to room, theoretically through the walls. Another self-reflexive technique, this particular set was used because it forces the audience to remember that they are witnessing a film, breaking the fourth wall in a literal sense. This type of staging was appropriated from Jerry Lewis's film ''The Ladies Man''. Godard and Gorin use other self-reflexive techniques in ''Tout va bien'' such as direct camera address, long takes, and abandonment of the continuity editing system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tout Va Bien」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
