Summary:
"Inside a giant warehouse in a working-class Parisian superb, Peter Watkins (The War Game, Edvard Munch) assembles a cast of over 200 non-professional actors (though their amateur status is undetectable). Basing their work upon thorough historical research, they will attempt to re-create the events of March,
1871
- the rise and fall of the
Paris
Commune
.
La
Commune
(
Paris
1871
) explores that famous, brief, romantic, and tragic period when poor and working-class Parisians rose up against the 'bourgeois' French national government, which fled the capital and re-established itself in Versailles. As this complex historical drama unfolds, it is also 'covered' by two television news crews - one from 'National TV Versailles' which broadcasts the official version of events, the other from '
Commune
TV,' giving voice to the rebellious Communards. Mixing past with present, revolutionary in form as well as content, Watkin's audacious masterpiece forces us to confront notions of a safe or objective reading of the past, and also to reflect, inevitably, upon the present. No one who meets the challenge of
La
Commune
(
Paris
1871
) will be unchanged by the experience. The Universal Clock: The Resistence of Peter Watkins: An insightful look at the documentarian-rebel, whose work challenges the mind-numbing standardization of the mass audiovisual media. We see Watkins shooting
La
Commune
(
Paris
1871
), his magnum opus - reviving the spirit of resistence that drove the rebellious Communards of
