Young People and Money

About This Movie

Young People and Money is this fascinating documentary from 1967 that dives into the minds of a new generation grappling with wealth and the implications of capitalism. It's got this raw, almost intimate feel, as Philippe Garrel engages with various young adults, and their candid thoughts on money just hit differently. The pacing is a bit leisurely, allowing for some reflective moments, and you can really sense the social climate of the time. What stands out here is the authenticity of the interviews, capturing not just opinions but the unfiltered essence of youth during this era. It’s an interesting snapshot of a culture caught between idealism and materialism, which leaves you thinking long after it’s over.

This film is relatively obscure, and collector interest has been growing thanks to its unique take on youth and wealth in the 60s. It’s not widely available on physical media, which adds to its allure among collectors. Early screenings and festival showings are sporadic, making it a potential gem for anyone interested in cultural documentaries of the era.
