Sinopse
"O filme sobre o Amazonas é meu primeiro ensaio em cores. Cheguei no Amazonas com uma idéia preconcebida e descobri que não existia a Amazônia lendária e mágica, a Amazônia dos crocodilos, dos tigres, dos índios etc.." (GR/RCN, p. 79) "(...) as belezas e riquezas naturais da região amazônica. Podemos considerar tipicamente glauberianos: o arrebatamento lírico das tomadas, e a insistência bem característica sobre as preocupações nacionalistas e progressistas do diretor, com a presença muito concreta da imagem das pessoas no trabalho, nas sequências urbanas, e do produto, da mercadoria."

A group of men and women have been brought together after World War II, when Italy regained its national and territorial unity. They make up a primitive community which seeks to erase not only the distress created by the war but also the hardships of life, and look to protect themselves from violence, misery and fear. Amid the ruins of this post-war period, these men and women build a new rapport between themselves, between sexes, between generations, between social and geographical origins, between political camps.

In 1794, French revolutionary Maximilien Robespierre produced the world's first defense of "state terror" - claiming that the road to virtue lay through political violence. This film combines drama, archive and documentary interviews to examine Robespierre's year in charge of the Committee Of Public Safety - the powerful state machine at the heart of Revolutionary France. Contesting Robespierre's legacy is Slavoj Zizek, who argues that terror in the cause of virtue is justifiable, and Simon Schama, who believes the road from Robespierre ran straight to the gulag and the 20th-century concentration camp. The drama, based on original sources, follows the life-and-death politics of the Committee during "Year Two" of the new Republic.
Jean-Marie Straub pushes this musicality of blocks to a paroxysmal extreme, mixing blocks of time (40 years separate the various extracts that are going to be used, and what is to be filmed), blocks of text (Malraux, Fortini, Vittorini, Hölderlin) and blocks of language (French, Italian, German), and from this ruckus emerges the history of the world, yes, History with a capital H, and from the same movement, the political hope of its being overtaken. So this is an adventure film, about the Human adventure, still one that is always, in the end, overtaken by Nature. (Arnaud Dommerc)
