      Reviews 78% Audience Score 50+ Ratings Romain Goupil was just a teenager when he joined France's radical Left in the 1960s.

He focuses particularly on his friend Michel, trying to understand why this idealistic young man committed suicide. Read More Read Less

      Audience Member Très beau film, auquel la narration contribue de façon magnifique. Peut-être un peu hermétique pour les non-Français (les branches et les sous-branches des groupes politiques sont nombreuses !!) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Retour désabusé sur le trotskisme français de la fin des années 60 mais aussi film sur l'amitié, le cinéma, le temps qui passe, le suicide... et film de, par, pour et avec Romain Goupil!!
