The Lovely Month of May
Sun, May 1 | 2pm | TMT
A monumental documentary, here Chris Marker takes to the streets to question everyday French citizens about the state of their world and society at large. The cast of characters—over a thousand—range in social class and age, and even include an owl (a recurring figure in Marker’s oeuvre). Filmed during France’s first period of peace in decades, the film is an important and iconoclastic look at French society.
DIRECTORS: Chris Marker, Pierre Lhomme.
CAST: Yves Montand, Simone Signoret (voice). 1963. 145 min. France. B&W. English. DCP.
