SGC comments:
"For those of you with genuine questions about what happened in May 1968, I
will not reprimand you, but suggest a wonderful book that explores the
intellectual ferment leading up to those events:  Greil Marcus's LIPSTICK
TRACES (Harvard UP, 1989).  The Situationists are crucial to the period,
and Marcus offers a compelling account of their history.
After that, a must-see film is Godard's WEEKEND, which should be widely
available on video."
 
 
Maybe even more must-see is LA CHINOISE, dismissed by some American reviewers
on release as being out of touch, and then soon after hailed as prophetic!
