may 68  All Power to the Imagination!

France | 1968 | b&w | silent | 62 mins | dir. Philippe Garrel, with Bernadette Lafont, Stanislas Robiolles, Laurent Terzieff

One of the experimental works created from the cadre of radical, emerging artists financed under the rubric of Zanzibar films that captured the spirit of May '68 and the counter culture revolution, Philippe Garrel's silent film Le Révélateur is a fractured and elliptical, but instinctive, elemental, and haunting rumination on the process of awakening, maturation, psychological trauma, and transformation of childhood memory. Garrel builds a silent and quixotic defiance against the oppressive and implacable forces of a cruel and inhuman human nature.
