The story

What Is Vladimir and Rosa About?

The premise of Vladimir and Rosa without spoilers.

A radical reinterpretation of the Chicago Eight (Chicago Seven) trial that followed the 1968 Democratic National Convention protests, seen through Godard and Gorin’s avant‑garde lens. Judge Hoffman is recast as Judge Himmler, played by Ernest Menzer, while the defendants function as symbolic microcosms of the French Revolution.
