La Chinoise, though it was before '68. And all of the Godard-Gorin films
are I guess a response. Guy Debord's films are close to the event.
Stolen Kisses is interesting in that it starts out with a shot of the
closed Cinematheque Francaise, a reference to the demonstrations that
occurred after the firing of Henri Langois that also start out The
Dreamers. This is kinda interesting because Antoine seems oblivious to
the political situation but his student girl friend is, if I remember,
politically active; so May '68 provides an interesting background to a
film that seems about different matters altogether. Alain Tanner's Jonah
who will be -- in 19--, is a reflection on the events. In the U.S.
Medium Cool.
