La brigade
Director
This film explores the experiences of some of the members of an anti-Nazi resistance group in France composed mostly of Polish immigrants, known as "La Brigade." Many of them also fought for the leftist cause during the Spanish Civil War, and for them the resistance is simply a continuation of their prior activities. After the war, some of them continue to have a "resistance" mind-set. One of the stories concerns a love relationship between a Polish boy and a French girl who are thrown together because of their war efforts. After the war, they get together and reminisce.
On n'arrête pas le printemps

Four high school students in Paris question the education system and try to provoke a dialogue with their teachers. A portrait of the French youth after 1968.
L'escadron Volapük
Director
This somewhat talky French-language film concerns a goofy bunch of military types and involves them in encounters with a variety of late '60s radicals who spout off a bit. It is notable chiefly because it was about to be subjected to severe censorship for its political content but was saved by the incoming Culture Minister Jacques Duhamel.
