Mai 68 captures the raw energy of a significant turning point in French history. Gudie Lawaetz weaves together a tapestry of striking footage, from the bubbling discontent of students at Nanterre to the chaos of the streets filled with barricades and passionate protests. The pacing feels almost frenetic, mirroring the urgency of the events unfolding. It's not just about the riots; you get a sense of the communal spirit, the intense hope, and the desperation in the air. The practical effects are striking, nothing overly polished, just the real stuff of life and struggle. The film's collage approach gives it a unique rhythm β a beautiful, chaotic homage to a moment that still reverberates today.
