Masterwork of editing
6 May 2004
This movie is a splendid lesson in "montage alterné" like the French say and like Serguei Eisenstein did in his "Le cuirassé Potemkine (1925)" and "Octobre (1927)". Schweitzer, the general director, is a man used like a puppet to shoot at and his remarkable "No" reveals his stubbornness to deploy their construction of the Megane to Moscow. The music is good and well-chosen and the funny action at the end is really entertaining without unnecessary violence. This is the type of movie that the channels should show! The workers and different left-wing politicians are interviewed and they can give their commentary and reveal their feelings. This movie is an intriguing documentary of one of the greatest strikes in recent European history.
