Here is the publicity: "As a filmmaker, Chris Marker has always been very much a diarist, crafting intimate portraits of his subjects. The same is true with this, his affectionate look at Montand, which includes conversations with costars, his wife Simone Signoret, and Montand himself. Essential viewing for fans of both Marker and Montand, the film teems with insight into the life of this great French artist."

What an amazing compilation of the time; I was just being born in the midst of these revolutions; Marker's means to weave the dynamics between these various events had a kind of clarity and poetry that I've rarely seen in documentary film. It felt very alive, in keeping with complicated puzzle we currently dwell in our geo-politics. I just caught the film at the New Museum last night.

This is by far my favorite film, and one I can't get out from under my skin since first seeing it in Philly 4 years ago (film projection, wonderfully.) And it's free!

We even saw Bobby Kennedy speak at the sunken gardens of the courthouse here, protesting in the back for Eugene McCarthy. Days or weeks later, after the assassination, we felt chagrined for having done so: again, as Marker points out in this film, rifts within the left draining energy that could be focused elsewhere... This phenomenon was certainly not limited to France, though it played out with particular intensity & in a markedly different political context there.
