When the Century Took Shape (War and Revolution) is a fascinating continuation of Marker’s exploration of revolutionary fervor. This documentary dives deep into the tumultuous changes of the 20th century, capturing the shifting tides of ideology and conflict. There's this almost hypnotic quality to it, a mix of archival footage and poetic narration that pulls you in. The pacing has a dreamlike rhythm, sometimes disorienting, yet it perfectly reflects the chaos of the era. Marker's distinct style is all over this—his lens seems to dissect not just events but the very essence of hope and despair. It’s not just a historical reflection; it feels like a meditation on what was lost in those years of struggle.
