LES FILMS ZANZIBAR ET LES DANDYS DE MAI 1968
Sally Shafto
2007
cinéma underground, mode, Mai 1968, art des années 1960
Made in the period around May 1968 by a dozen rebels whose undisputed leader was Philippe Garrel, the Zanzibar Films fall within a “wild innocence” that is striking as much for its violence as well as for its lucidity. The author reveals the truth on one of the most surprising experiences in the history of French cinema.
The Group of films produced under the flag of Zanzibar has been for me the greatest discovery in French cinema. It’s a group of films that nobody seriously interested in cinema can afford to miss. It’s an exciting bridge between the Nouvelle Vague and the avant-garde, between poetry and narrative. None of these films has lost anything in time: just the opposite. They have grown in their intensity of personal, poetic and cinematic vision.
Jonas Mekas (2000)
