- Summary
- "This complex, intimately scaled series for and about television is constructed around Godard's interviews with a French schoolgirl and schoolboy on questions both philosophical and quotidian. The series title refers to the widely read 19th-century French primer, Le tour de la France par deux enfants, and in this astonishing 12-part television project, Godard and Miéville have taken a detour through the daily lives of two children in contemporary France. Their visually striking, inventive study of the effect of television on the French family focuses on the minutiae of the everyday: the eloquence of an isolated gesture, the significance of a gaze. Godard and Miéville composed the program's meticulously symmetrical structure around formal and thematic oppositions; dichotomies such as light/dark, chemistry/physics and truth/television form the basis for the girl and boy's alternating segments. By opposing these scenes with the commentary of two adults, Godard and Miéville further reveal how the child's world is "programmed" by the institutions of family and television. For Godard and Miéville, the media is the pervasive influence in the home and television is the 20th-century primer."--EAI.
