Grands soirs et petits matins

William Klein, 1978, 83 minutes

French director William Klein, weaves compelling original footage from various sources (barricades, assemblies, confrontations, etc.) into a compelling visual narrative that captures the spirit of Mai 68. Forty years after the first protests ignited the streets of Paris, this oft-cited and unanimously applauded documentary film still provides unique insight into this pivotal moment. A must-see for all campus francophile modern history aficionados planning the next revolution.
