A Grin Without A Cat (1977) – C. Marker
Unbelievable melange
of '60s and '70s leftists fighting the power and eventually falling into
disarray. Chris Marker's idiosyncratic style (a cat parade, bemused voiceover
narration) encases a hypnotic collection of found footage of world leaders
(Castro, Mao, Allende), forgotten European union officials, some communists,
the sadly misled, and a million students engaged with political theory in a way
we may never see again.
