While it regards 1967 as the key turning point of the 20th century, and returns again and again to images of dissidents in the streets, it's alarmingly current.

An exhaustive investigation into the roots and after-effects of the revolutions and counter-revolutions that rocked France, the U.S., China, Latin America and Czechoslovakia in 1967 and 1968.

A timely look back at civil disobedience, anti-war movements and the power of strong voices.
11/08/02
Marker's incredible collection of newsreel footage -- TV footage from various countries, home movies and other celluloid wonders -- eventually shapes a scattered, pinwheel idea of the era's attitude.
11/07/02
This is a movie about the world at war with itself, and the result is riveting, sublime and unforgettable.

Although it's a bit smug and repetitive, this documentary engages your brain in a way few current films do.
08/29/02
Achieves a sort of filmic epiphany that revels in the true potential of the medium.
05/06/02
A work of extraordinary journalism, but it is also a work of deft and subtle poetry.

More impressionistic than analytical, A Grin Without a Cat is a grand immersion.
