Simone Signoret (narrator) Marker's montage of newsreels
Plot
A history of the political left from 1967 to the 1970s, from the hopes of May 1968 to the disillusionment that followed.
Sinekatalog’s take
Chris Marker's epic film essay traces the global left from the hopes of May 1968 through to disillusionment in the 1970s. Densely edited from newsreels and interviews, it is a rich, sorrowful and essential political history.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
