The Revolution is only a Beginning: Let's Continue Fighting

A revolutionary phantasm, a spontaneous outbreak of political and cinematic energy, an unattainable dream; it is unbelievable that it could ever come, and retrospectively unbelievable that it came at all. A film about May 68 filmed in May and June 1968 between France and Italy about everything impossible that May featured in the history of Western Europe. This film is a perfect depiction of everything impossible and chimerical, but again in this case, also beautiful. Just like in Visa de censure n°X that began in the same year, here too it is primarily about a wave of unbridled imagination, predetermined images, a whirl of colors, and constantly fading scenes, images, and dreams. Yet here we have something more under the influence of the turbulent events of those months - political slogans, and revolutionary challenges and demands. It is characteristic that they merge in the form of colored subtitles with the entire background on which they appear - in reality, these slogans were unfortunately mere fantasies, not in the background of the film, but rather in the minds of the May student revolutionaries. But what inspiring chimeras, what a beautiful film! (04/14/2015)
