Le Joli mai (1963)
Film Synopsis
Paris, May 1962. The war in Algeria has just concluded with the signing of the Evian accord. In this first month of peace for seven years, independent filmmaker Chris Marker asks what the Parisians think. Ordinary men and women, from all walks of life, are invited to express their hopes and fears, their anxieties and disappointments. Gradually, a startlingly vivid portrait of France at the start of the 1960s begins to emerge...© James Travers
