>>A colleague is teaching a course with a couple of readings on the Paris >>uprisings of 1968. She wants to know if there are any films that deal with >>this historical moment. I can't think of any. Are there any encyclopedists >>and/or specialists on the list who can? > Louis Malle's 1989 film _Milou en mai_ is a sprightly look at the events of 1968. _Stolen Kisses_ was filmed DURING the May 68 turmoil. Truffaut spent the mornings working to organize protests on the closing of the cinematheque (an admittedly tangential part of the "uprisings), etc. and the afternoons filming. This gives his film a more than usual casualness and improvisatory feel. In an odd and oblique kind of way it can be "read" as a film "about" the turmoil.
