What happens

How's It Going (Original French title: Comment ça va) is a French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard and Anne-Marie Miéville in 1975, released at the Cannes Film Festival in 1976 and then in French cinemas in 1978. It is the third film made by the couple that year, marking their move from Paris to Grenoble. Stemming from a discussion Godard had with journalists from the newspaper Libération, it develops the aesthetic discourse on photographic images that the Franco-Swiss director had begun in Letter to Jane (Lettre à Jane; 1972).
