Un autre jour en France
Co-Director
Kill Hitler
Music
This 140-minute documentary takes a close look at the story and historical context of a young Swiss man who was beheaded during WW II for supposedly wanting to kill Hitler. The man's family cannot help clarify the issue since they say he had been pro-Nazi earlier. Other injustices or puzzling omissions come to the fore, such as a German who was against Hitler, survived torture by the SS, and then was not given any state aid when peace was restored. Another sequence shows an extensive U.S. archive of materials that identifies many Nazis and their activities -- but is not available to anyone trying to track down former war criminals. Like other films of this type, the documentary helps to fill in facts about WW II that are little-known, or slow in coming out.

Salvatore
The four days of Naples was not a revolution. They had no leaders, no preparations of any kind. The revolt was born and flared up in a matter of hours. The whole population of Naples took part in it, but they all did so without consulting the others. Driven by a kind of necessity, the Neapolitans took up their rifles, armed themselves with stones, household objects, and bottles of petrol, and fought on their stretch of road, anonymous and silent. Once the battle was over, everyone returned to their homes and the revolt remained in memory with only the names of the dead, those, at least, who were known. One figure still remembered is that of Gennarino Capuozzo, a ten-year-old boy who was killed on a barricade while fighting against the invaders of his village.
