Le gai savoir is a 1969 French Freudo-Marxist film directed by Jean-Luc Godard, started before the events of May 68 and finished after. Co-produced by the O.R.T.F., the film, once finished, is seen unfit to screen on French television, and its release to the theatres is banned by the censor. The film was meant to be a modern version of Rousseau’s treatise on education, Émile (1762). The title of the film is a pun on Nietzsche's The Gay Science.
