An apocalyptic vision of man after a cosmic catastrophe, this film is a terrifying metaphor of a dehumanized future. The Brazilian Cinema Novo, German expressionism of the twenties, and the ideologically motivated ‘cruelty’ of a Buñuel come together in this ferocious work of a French theatre collective – an ambitious, almost completely successful example of visual cinema at its best.
Carmen
Um grupo de espanhóis refugiados na França tenta organizar protestos contra o governo em Madri. Sua rede está sob constante ameaça pela polícia espanhola e alguns deles foram recentemente presos. O personagem principal Diego (Yves Montand) dedicou toda a sua vida à batalha, mas ele se sente afastado para sempre. Ele não encontra seu lugar nem em seu país adotivo (França) nem no amor. Mas este filme não é sobre a história, é sobre estilo. Alain Resnais tem uma abordagem original neste filme e isso é o que faz com que esse filme valha a pena ser assistido. (e 14 - Estimado 14 Anos)
