    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Jim Morrison: Agnès Varda originally wanted Jim Morrison to play one of the male leads. He declined, though he visited the production during filming and can be briefly seen as an audience member of the theater performance of "The Beard" in the opening scene.
    • Quotes
      • Viva: Even if he is corrupt, at least he does it with style.
      • Jim: Viva, you're too much.
      • Viva: Of course, all politics is the same thing. They're just better actors. Much better actors. If you were as good an actor as Bobby Kennedy you'd be where Bobby Kennedy is up on the podium.
      • Jim: Who wants to be up there? You could get killed.
      • Viva: Influencing the masses.
