Wikipedia article




'Keep Your Right Up' is a 1987 film, written, directed by, and starring French Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard.

In boxing, 'Soigne ta droite' is a trainer's call to "keep your right up". The title is a reference to Jacques Tati's first short film, 'Soigne ton gauche' ('Keep Your Left Up').

Plot



Described by Godard as "a fantasy for actor, camera and tape recorder", this film is made up several sketches in which certain actors play several real or fictional roles to a background of rock music. The film is divided into three sections which inter-cross throughout. In each, a group of people search for their proper place on earth.

In the first, a group of musicians search for the right sound, the ideal harmony. In the second, a man searches for an ideal society and wonders if he is on the wrong planet. In the third, some travellers search for their destination, as Ulysses did in the bygone days.
