I just watched this movie, and was just plain confused at the end when the colors appeared and the finished song played, I hadn't fully grasped the film yet and these things just pushed it out of my grasp.
Consulting Jean luc Godard Interviews I found that the finished song, the colors and the title were all the producers choice and that during a screening of the producers version Godard punched Iain Quarrier (his producer) in the face and told the audience to get a refund and donate their money to the Eldridge Cleaver Fund, threatening those who didn't to be bourgeois fascists.
The dvd goes even further with contradicting Godard's message by being sold as a Rolling Stones movie usually placed in the music dvd section of stores. The dvd features a music video of some reworking of the song with NERD or something like that. It had absolutely nothing to do with Godard or the movie.
I'd love to see the real version of this movie available on dvd
