You need money for that.

If you use stars,

Then we'll use stars.

00:02:49,337 --> 00:02:52,272
What'll you tell Yves Montand
and Jane Fonda?
32
00:02:52,371 --> 00:02:55,932
Actors want to see a story
before they agree to anything.
33
00:02:56,205 --> 00:02:58,036
We need a story?
34
00:02:58,138 --> 00:03:00,197
Yeah, usually a love story.
35
00:03:03,638 --> 00:03:05,503
- Do you love me?
- Yes.
36
00:03:06,172 --> 00:03:08,766
I love your eyes,
I love your mouth,
37
00:03:09,205 --> 00:03:11,571
I love your knees,
I love your ass,
38
00:03:12,671 --> 00:03:15,504
I love your hair,
I love your hands.
39
00:03:15,971 --> 00:03:18,804
- So you love me completely?
- Yes. What about you?
40
00:03:20,405 --> 00:03:23,499
I love your forehead,
I love your legs,
41
00:03:23,871 --> 00:03:26,840
I love your balls,
I love your shoulders,
42
00:03:27,172 --> 00:03:29,072
I love your mouth.
43
00:03:29,205 --> 00:03:32,003
- So you love me completely?
- Yes, completely.
44
00:03:32,105 --> 00:03:35,074
There'd be Him and Her,
45
00:03:35,472 --> 00:03:37,372
and they'd have
relationship problems.
46
00:03:42,405 --> 00:03:44,703
- Wait a minute!
- You wait a minute!
47
00:03:45,139 --> 00:03:47,664
Keep going and you'll have
a nice story about zombies.
48
00:03:48,139 --> 00:03:51,540
Where do your characters live?
When?
49
00:03:51,639 --> 00:03:54,437
What do they eat?
Give us some details!
50
00:03:55,239 --> 00:03:57,639
There'd be a country.
51
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:02,505
In the country,
there'd be countryside.
52
00:04:04,972 --> 00:04:07,440
In the countryside, there'd be cities.
53
00:04:09,106 --> 00:04:11,870
In the cities, there'd be houses.
54
00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:15,274
In one of the houses
there'd be Him,
55
00:04:16,606 --> 00:04:18,733
and in one of the houses,
there'd be Her.
56
00:04:19,807 --> 00:04:21,434
There'd be Her and Him.
57
00:04:24,673 --> 00:04:26,265
That's still too vague.
58
00:04:26,506 --> 00:04:27,666
Wait.
59
00:04:28,073 --> 00:04:29,700
There'd be lots of people.
60
00:04:30,473 --> 00:04:32,338
There'd be workers.
61
00:04:33,673 --> 00:04:35,265
There'd be farmers.
62
00:04:37,573 --> 00:04:39,837
Petit bourgeois
and grand bourgeois.
63
00:04:45,773 --> 00:04:49,402
And She and He
must be placed among them.
64
00:04:52,474 --> 00:04:55,705
And She and He
must be placed among them.
65
00:04:56,707 --> 00:04:58,675
Is that a better beginning?
66
00:04:58,774 --> 00:05:01,834
I don't know yet. Keep going.
67
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,237
There'd be farmers who farm.
68
00:05:17,274 --> 00:05:20,038
There'd be workers who work.
69
00:05:21,141 --> 00:05:22,870
And bourgeois who bourgeois.
70
00:05:22,974 --> 00:05:27,843
Good evening.
Here are our top stories at 8:00.
71
00:05:27,941 --> 00:05:32,002
Mr. Pompidou will hold
a press conference this month.
72
00:05:32,108 --> 00:05:33,735
And bourgeois who bourgeois.
73
00:05:33,841 --> 00:05:37,937
Mr. Servan-Schreiber revealed
seven points in common
74
00:05:38,041 --> 00:05:40,566
between his party
and Mr. Mitterand's Socialists.
75
00:05:40,675 --> 00:05:43,337
Does this mean
a falling out with Mr. Lecanuet?
76
00:05:43,442 --> 00:05:45,137
We need to add something.
77
00:05:45,608 --> 00:05:46,836
For example...
78
00:05:47,908 --> 00:05:51,503
under a calm surface,
everything's changing.
79
00:05:51,675 --> 00:05:53,336
Yes.
80
00:05:53,909 --> 00:05:57,037
Everything's changing
within every class.
81
00:06:13,408 --> 00:06:16,775
Under a calm surface,
everything's changing.
82
00:06:16,875 --> 00:06:20,174
Everything's changing
within every class.
83
00:06:29,409 --> 00:06:32,708
And She and He,
swept up in it, also change.
84
00:06:32,809 --> 00:06:35,073
Remington had the same idea as you.
85
00:06:35,176 --> 00:06:41,581
Now, Remington razors have
super-sharp blades to shave even closer.
86
00:06:42,209 --> 00:06:43,540
Turn the sound off.
87
00:06:44,376 --> 00:06:45,536
Oh, it's you.
88
00:06:46,676 --> 00:06:50,373
Yes, I need you.
No, it's for a commercial.
89
00:06:50,609 --> 00:06:52,770
Yes, a Remington ad.
90
00:06:53,743 --> 00:06:56,371
You're naked, lying on a fur.
91
00:06:56,509 --> 00:07:00,240
There's a guy behind you,
an aftershave model.
92
00:07:00,576 --> 00:07:03,670
He takes a couple
different electric razors
93
00:07:04,210 --> 00:07:06,337
and he shaves with them.
94
00:07:06,444 --> 00:07:09,311
Then he rubs his cheek on your behind,
95
00:07:09,410 --> 00:07:11,173
and you say, "That scratches."
96
00:07:11,277 --> 00:07:14,474
After a few other brands,
he shaves with a Remington.
97
00:07:14,709 --> 00:07:18,475
Then he rubs his cheek
on your behind again,
98
00:07:18,577 --> 00:07:21,375
and you say,
"It doesn't scratch anymore."
99
00:07:22,377 --> 00:07:25,540
Day after tomorrow at 9:00,
soundstage B.
100
00:07:26,076 --> 00:07:28,101
Great. Bye.
101
00:07:28,944 --> 00:07:31,708
Play it back.
- Robert, play it back.
102
00:07:34,710 --> 00:07:38,476
Your son's. Almost.
103
00:07:38,777 --> 00:07:41,211
Give your husband
a Remington razor.
104
00:07:41,310 --> 00:07:44,245
She and He,
swept up in it, also change.
105
00:08:00,710 --> 00:08:04,077
After building themselves
a rat trap,
106
00:08:04,178 --> 00:08:08,012
they're caught in it themselves,
and they're screwed.
107
00:08:08,511 --> 00:08:13,005
How smart of the establishment press
to maintain, thanks to advertising,
108
00:08:13,111 --> 00:08:15,944
such a low price that it doesn't even
cover the costs of their raw materials.
109
00:08:25,344 --> 00:08:28,677
LOCK UP THE BOSSES
110
00:08:28,778 --> 00:08:31,872
INDEFINITE STRIKE
111
00:08:40,645 --> 00:08:42,476
Be serious!
Why destroy all the files?
112
00:08:42,578 --> 00:08:44,842
Just relax!
113
00:08:46,345 --> 00:08:49,473
You haven't had a supervisor
since 9:00 this morning.
114
00:08:51,045 --> 00:08:53,036
Besides, you never know.
115
00:08:53,145 --> 00:08:55,340
They might be tearing up
the list of layoffs.
116
00:08:55,446 --> 00:08:56,470
So?
117
00:08:56,579 --> 00:08:58,513
So what if your name's on it?
118
00:08:59,112 --> 00:09:03,208
While they're redoing the list,
you keep your job
119
00:09:03,312 --> 00:09:05,974
for at least three more days,
and at your age, that's important.
120
00:09:06,078 --> 00:09:08,706
Leave me alone!
121
00:09:08,813 --> 00:09:10,872
Stupid fool!
122
00:09:13,846 --> 00:09:15,939
It's this way. You'll see.
123
00:09:17,779 --> 00:09:19,644
I'm here to see the manager.
124
00:09:19,746 --> 00:09:23,580
- We know!
- He may be too busy to see you!
125
00:09:24,579 --> 00:09:27,946
- What's going on?
- That's what we'd like to know.
126
00:09:28,447 --> 00:09:30,312
You look like you're having fun.
127
00:09:30,413 --> 00:09:32,381
Listen to me!
128
00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:46,943
What the hell's going on?
129
00:09:47,046 --> 00:09:49,014
I have an appointment
with the manager.
130
00:09:49,113 --> 00:09:52,276
They just showed up
and insisted on coming up.
131
00:09:52,380 --> 00:09:54,314
We need to see the manager.
132
00:09:54,413 --> 00:09:56,745
They said they had an appointment
to see the manager.
133
00:09:56,847 --> 00:10:00,078
Maybe we could talk
to his secretary. She could -
134
00:10:00,181 --> 00:10:02,809
His secretary? That's me.
135
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,805
I'm a temp, of course.
136
00:10:06,147 --> 00:10:08,980
Since they're already here,
why disappoint them?
137
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,275
Come on. After you.
138
00:10:11,747 --> 00:10:13,237
You still at it?
139
00:10:14,713 --> 00:10:17,477
- Listening at the door!
- That's not nice.
140
00:10:17,580 --> 00:10:19,480
Spying on his workers!
141
00:10:22,847 --> 00:10:24,906
You have visitors, babe.
142
00:10:27,514 --> 00:10:30,677
Excuse us.
We'll be leaving now.
143
00:10:48,848 --> 00:10:50,543
What the hell are you doing here?
144
00:10:50,648 --> 00:10:54,175
I'm Susan Dewitt
of the American Broadcasting System.
145
00:10:54,348 --> 00:10:58,182
Your secretary scheduled
an interview with you.
146
00:10:58,282 --> 00:11:03,345
I have some questions for our inquiry
into today's employers in France.
147
00:11:04,248 --> 00:11:07,274
I'm sorry. With all this excitement,
it slipped my mind.
148
00:11:08,915 --> 00:11:11,315
Why are you laughing?
- That's my husband.
149
00:11:11,415 --> 00:11:16,614
Now I see why they said
you might be too busy to see us.
150
00:11:16,816 --> 00:11:19,376
- Jacques!
- Very funny.
151
00:11:20,415 --> 00:11:23,384
This isn't a good time.
It's unbelievable.
152
00:11:23,949 --> 00:11:30,479
The union planned a run-of-the-mill
work stoppage for this morning.
153
00:11:30,715 --> 00:11:32,649
Then things got out of hand.
154
00:11:32,749 --> 00:11:36,378
A gang of lunatics started ransacking
the personnel manager's office.
155
00:11:36,482 --> 00:11:41,044
When I showed up,
they threw me in here.
156
00:11:41,149 --> 00:11:43,617
I've been locked up for four hours.
157
00:11:43,715 --> 00:11:45,945
They even cut my outside line.
158
00:11:46,049 --> 00:11:48,074
Real hooligans.
159
00:11:48,682 --> 00:11:51,014
Real hooligans!
160
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:59,708
The manager - fine.
But why do we need the other two?
161
00:12:00,016 --> 00:12:04,112
You may be right, but there's no time
for details in the class struggle.
162
00:12:15,116 --> 00:12:18,017
LOCK UP THE BOSSES
INDEFINITE STRIKE
163
00:12:18,117 --> 00:12:23,350
If you keep on like this, Salumi
164
00:12:23,483 --> 00:12:28,921
The working class will kick your ass
165
00:13:53,119 --> 00:13:55,747
My name is Marco Guidotti.
166
00:13:56,618 --> 00:14:00,179
I was born in Italy,
but I have a French passport.
167
00:14:00,952 --> 00:14:06,447
I've managed this factory
since September 15, 1967.
168
00:14:08,485 --> 00:14:11,977
This is the first time
anything like this has happened.
169
00:14:12,085 --> 00:14:16,488
Until now, we hadn't been
contaminated by May '68.
170
00:14:17,785 --> 00:14:19,377
My reaction?
171
00:14:19,852 --> 00:14:22,286
For the moment, more amusement
than anything else.
172
00:14:23,052 --> 00:14:27,716
It has more to do with psychiatry.
173
00:14:28,586 --> 00:14:32,420
There are maladjusted people
in factories too, like anywhere,
174
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:36,979
and they tried to force
a coup for no reason,
175
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:41,382
without the support
of the people or the union.
176
00:14:41,619 --> 00:14:44,281
There's no lesson to learn from this.
177
00:14:44,886 --> 00:14:49,323
Seriously, what's "class struggle"
got to do with all this?
178
00:14:49,419 --> 00:14:53,515
You're still using
a 19th-century vocabulary.
179
00:14:53,753 --> 00:14:58,816
The glaring injustices
of Marx' and Engels' day are over.
180
00:15:00,253 --> 00:15:01,845
What do you mean, "power"?
181
00:15:01,986 --> 00:15:06,389
The past 25 years
have dashed the hopes
182
00:15:06,487 --> 00:15:11,083
of many Marxist-influenced philosophers
who criticized consumer society.
183
00:15:11,187 --> 00:15:13,781
The last 15 years have proved
184
00:15:13,886 --> 00:15:19,324
that Marxism and collectivism
certainly don't protect you
185
00:15:20,487 --> 00:15:25,754
from exploitation and alienation.
186
00:15:26,687 --> 00:15:29,520
Look at the USSR
and the people's democracies.
187
00:15:30,387 --> 00:15:35,620
I don't think the word "revolution"
has meaning anymore.
188
00:15:36,087 --> 00:15:40,615
The industrialized countries have increased
their overall and per capital income
189
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,350
more in the last 25 years
than they did from 1900 to 1945.
190
00:15:45,954 --> 00:15:49,287
Workers and employees in general
191
00:15:49,388 --> 00:15:52,915
have played an important role,
without acting as a class
192
00:15:53,021 --> 00:15:55,990
or being exclusionary.
193
00:15:56,321 --> 00:15:59,051
This is a time of evolution/revolution.
194
00:15:59,154 --> 00:16:03,454
Classes are now cooperating
with each other
195
00:16:03,822 --> 00:16:06,950
to build an urban, industrial society
196
00:16:07,054 --> 00:16:10,182
motivated by a quest for progress
197
00:16:11,655 --> 00:16:13,714
that is tangible and ongoing.
198
00:16:13,922 --> 00:16:19,690
Most people are free from daily needs
199
00:16:19,788 --> 00:16:23,383
and the resignation
engendered by half-baked beliefs.
200
00:16:23,888 --> 00:16:28,416
I'm not denying
that our society has drawbacks.
201
00:16:28,521 --> 00:16:34,050
The hard work and aggressiveness
that accompany the drive for efficiency
202
00:16:34,155 --> 00:16:38,990
risk dehumanizing everyone
and destroying the weaker among us.
203
00:16:39,222 --> 00:16:43,454
The desire for possessions
can lead to frustration,
204
00:16:43,722 --> 00:16:47,351
and too much pleasure
can make you nauseous.
205
00:16:47,722 --> 00:16:50,782
You have to find a balance,
206
00:16:51,189 --> 00:16:54,056
and most people find it -
or will find it.
207
00:16:54,155 --> 00:16:59,218
They have a natural tendency
to find balance and adapt
208
00:16:59,322 --> 00:17:02,223
because of their need to streamline
209
00:17:02,322 --> 00:17:05,689
all aspects of their lives
and surroundings.
210
00:17:06,756 --> 00:17:11,159
Why do you want me to talk
about today's events?
211
00:17:11,923 --> 00:17:14,118
It's a flash in the pan.
212
00:17:14,756 --> 00:17:18,556
The unions will be furious
that I'm here.
213
00:17:18,756 --> 00:17:24,922
Anyway, they know I won't talk
under duress.
214
00:17:26,123 --> 00:17:29,183
Everything will return to normal.
215
00:17:29,290 --> 00:17:32,282
I hope I can get home on time.
216
00:17:32,557 --> 00:17:35,549
We're having a dinner party.
217
00:17:37,323 --> 00:17:40,019
Bosses will always be jerks.
218
00:17:40,123 --> 00:17:42,421
What did you expect?
219
00:17:59,224 --> 00:18:01,249
Are you crazy?
220
00:18:13,124 --> 00:18:16,582
Yes, I'm the CGT shop steward.
221
00:18:17,458 --> 00:18:20,256
Most unions are part of the CGT.
222
00:18:21,424 --> 00:18:22,823
Absolutely not.
223
00:18:22,924 --> 00:18:26,087
We planned a short work stoppage,
but not this.
224
00:18:27,424 --> 00:18:29,688
What do I think of the situation?
225
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:32,316
It's very serious.
226
00:18:32,724 --> 00:18:35,488
At a moment when the unions
have come together
227
00:18:35,758 --> 00:18:38,886
to defend the vital interests
of all employees,
228
00:18:39,758 --> 00:18:43,524
and duly empowered
representatives of the workers
229
00:18:43,958 --> 00:18:47,291
are entering into sensitive
negotiations with management,
230
00:18:47,624 --> 00:18:51,219
this is a bad blow on the part
of an irresponsible minority.
231
00:18:52,325 --> 00:18:56,159
The CGT condemns their actions.
232
00:18:59,758 --> 00:19:03,990
Such troublemakers only serve
the interests of management,
233
00:19:05,225 --> 00:19:08,661
who are happy to refuse
to negotiate under duress
234
00:19:08,858 --> 00:19:12,555
and to justify their refusal to budge.
235
00:19:13,692 --> 00:19:19,255
Listen, I've spent eight hours a day
in this factory for seven years.
236
00:19:19,559 --> 00:19:23,996
This morning's events
were caused by a few hotheads
237
00:19:24,559 --> 00:19:27,722
who had already been brought
to our attention.
238
00:19:28,059 --> 00:19:32,462
Most workers in this factory
are responsible people.
239
00:19:34,326 --> 00:19:38,262
Yes, they raised the issue of bonuses.
240
00:19:38,426 --> 00:19:41,418
Do you think such a large problem
can be solved
241
00:19:41,526 --> 00:19:44,723
by attacking a foreman,
like they did this morning?
242
00:19:46,393 --> 00:19:49,260
That worker was part of our union,
243
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,893
so we can see
how these troublemakers operate.
244
00:19:56,460 --> 00:20:00,157
The problem of the food industry
is very complex.
245
00:20:00,959 --> 00:20:06,226
The food industry is being
thoroughly reorganized
246
00:20:06,326 --> 00:20:08,351
and is becoming concentrated.
247
00:20:08,460 --> 00:20:14,330
In 1968 and 1969, there were
173 mergers and acquisitions.
248
00:20:14,426 --> 00:20:17,589
Five giants control
25% of the market,
249
00:20:17,927 --> 00:20:22,159
while 567 companies have only 6%.
250
00:20:23,793 --> 00:20:26,057
Management's objective is simple:
251
00:20:26,593 --> 00:20:33,294
To set up one or two giants in each sector
with a turnover of one billion francs.
252
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:39,091
They're looking beyond
the French market.
253
00:20:39,527 --> 00:20:43,327
They want to supply
the 190 million consumers
254
00:20:43,494 --> 00:20:46,361
in the six countries
of the Common Market.
255
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:52,158
These mergers are sponsored
by the banks, of course.
256
00:20:52,828 --> 00:20:55,956
The Suez Company
is in cheese and yogurt,
257
00:20:56,061 --> 00:21:00,293
and Rothschild is investing
in mustard and gingerbread.
258
00:21:00,727 --> 00:21:03,753
Any industry where profits
can be made is fair game.
259
00:21:05,028 --> 00:21:07,496
And there are profits to be made,
believe me.
260
00:21:07,894 --> 00:21:10,658
In 10 years, productivity
has risen by 55%,
261
00:21:10,761 --> 00:21:12,922
production by 60%,
262
00:21:13,028 --> 00:21:16,156
and corporate profits
by 25-30% every year.
263
00:21:16,594 --> 00:21:21,759
Sixty-six of the top 500 French
companies are food-related.
264
00:21:23,628 --> 00:21:27,621
But our salaries haven't kept up
with increasing production,
265
00:21:27,728 --> 00:21:30,856
and even less with corporate profits.
266
00:21:30,994 --> 00:21:35,454
Food industry salaries,
despite the gains of May '68,
267
00:21:35,562 --> 00:21:38,030
are still among the lowest in France,
268
00:21:38,128 --> 00:21:41,529
with a national average
of 4.80 francs an hour.
269
00:21:42,261 --> 00:21:44,422
I have the figures here.
270
00:21:45,162 --> 00:21:51,795
Here at Salumi, a laborer
makes 3.45 0.62 francs an hour.
271
00:21:51,895 --> 00:21:56,025
An unskilled worker
makes 3.94 0.74.
272
00:21:56,129 --> 00:22:02,159
A skilled worker
makes 4.45 0.90.
273
00:22:02,429 --> 00:22:09,597
A highly skilled worker
makes from 5.37 to 6.04.
274
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:12,824
The food industry stuffs
the bosses and CEOs
275
00:22:12,929 --> 00:22:15,591
while it underfeeds the workers.
276
00:22:17,396 --> 00:22:19,557
We at the CGT maintain
277
00:22:19,929 --> 00:22:23,023
that industrial concentration
calls for a united strategy
278
00:22:23,362 --> 00:22:26,820
that allows agreements
between multiple sectors,
279
00:22:27,129 --> 00:22:31,759
combined with individual riders
for each sector or factory.
280
00:22:32,063 --> 00:22:36,397
We also maintain that irresponsible
actions like those of this morning
281
00:22:36,629 --> 00:22:39,029
threaten our overall strategy,
282
00:22:39,297 --> 00:22:42,095
which is the only one capable
of influencing management.
283
00:22:44,529 --> 00:22:48,158
Of course the problem is larger
than that, even political.
284
00:22:48,663 --> 00:22:52,497
There's no true solution
to workers' hopes and dreams
285
00:22:52,596 --> 00:22:54,587
under the current system,
286
00:22:54,696 --> 00:23:00,293
where a few capitalists impose
their law of monopolistic profits.
287
00:23:01,464 --> 00:23:04,695
To make possible
a social policy for the people,
288
00:23:04,996 --> 00:23:09,228
we have to set up
a true democracy in this country.
289
00:23:09,597 --> 00:23:12,998
For this, we need
a government of the people
290
00:23:13,664 --> 00:23:17,156
that combines the forces of blue-collar
and white-collar workers,
291
00:23:17,263 --> 00:23:20,596
both rural and urban,
believers and nonbelievers,
292
00:23:20,697 --> 00:23:26,363
all those who labor under the stifling
control of monopolistic capitalism.
293
00:23:27,497 --> 00:23:29,294
Hey, here comes Stacquet.
294
00:23:30,031 --> 00:23:32,090
Take it easy!
295
00:23:35,897 --> 00:23:37,831
- Do you mind?
- What do you want?
296
00:23:37,931 --> 00:23:42,129
I'm still the shop steward.
Stay out of this.
297
00:23:42,231 --> 00:23:43,858
Understand?
298
00:23:45,264 --> 00:23:48,062
Look out.
It's the muscle from the CGT.
299
00:23:52,031 --> 00:23:55,626
- That's why we're here, sir.
- "Sir"!
300
00:23:55,731 --> 00:23:58,791
The strike committee met
after you arrived.
301
00:23:59,131 --> 00:24:01,964
The brothers on the committee
don't want you here.
302
00:24:02,065 --> 00:24:05,592
I've kept quiet till now,
but don't treat us like idiots.
303
00:24:05,765 --> 00:24:09,257
We don't accept
the committee's point of view.
304
00:24:09,798 --> 00:24:13,632
It bugs you that the guys
gave grief to two foremen
305
00:24:13,731 --> 00:24:15,961
who wanted to get rid
of their bonuses.
306
00:24:16,465 --> 00:24:18,933
It bothers you that
we locked up the manager.
307
00:24:19,032 --> 00:24:22,934
I'd like to get information
about the factory -
308
00:24:23,032 --> 00:24:26,490
You've got a big mouth,
like all leftists.
309
00:24:26,932 --> 00:24:30,095
You won't help
with day-to-day union activities.
310
00:24:30,199 --> 00:24:31,996
We do all the work.
311
00:24:32,098 --> 00:24:35,226
When we organize a protest,
all you do is criticize.
312
00:24:35,399 --> 00:24:39,130
We'll have to clean up the mess
you've made today!
313
00:24:39,532 --> 00:24:42,763
You may have had fun
destroying some files,
314
00:24:42,998 --> 00:24:46,365
but you've also derailed negotiations,
315
00:24:46,466 --> 00:24:48,832
and it won't be easy
to get them back on track.
316
00:24:48,933 --> 00:24:51,993
Maybe these others should
have a chance to speak.
317
00:24:52,165 --> 00:24:54,030
Why should they?
318
00:24:54,133 --> 00:24:56,033
You're the only one we hear from.
319
00:24:56,133 --> 00:24:58,931
You're making a mistake.
320
00:24:59,033 --> 00:25:01,695
You still don't have a majority here.
321
00:25:01,833 --> 00:25:05,360
So we should just let ourselves
get fucked over?
322
00:25:10,799 --> 00:25:13,199
We should just let ourselves
get fucked over?
323
00:25:13,533 --> 00:25:16,001
- How many people work here?
- Let's go see the committee.
324
00:25:16,099 --> 00:25:19,762
- Not so fast.
- We'd be happy to tell you our reasons.
325
00:25:19,866 --> 00:25:21,299
Hey, the manager!
326
00:25:22,999 --> 00:25:24,990
Watch out! He's getting away.
327
00:25:28,266 --> 00:25:31,258
Take it easy!
I'm not the manager!
328
00:25:31,366 --> 00:25:34,494
That'll teach you to be pals
with the manager and shop steward.
329
00:25:35,034 --> 00:25:37,525
You want information? Go ahead!
330
00:25:37,633 --> 00:25:39,624
That's getting us nowhere.
331
00:25:42,633 --> 00:25:46,034
- Asshole!
- Enough with the insults.
332
00:25:46,267 --> 00:25:49,259
Let's get out of here.
You can't talk to guys like this!
333
00:25:49,500 --> 00:25:53,630
Keep away from these troublemakers
if you don't want what's coming to them!
334
00:25:54,567 --> 00:25:58,663
Bye, girls!
Have fun gossiping.
335
00:26:04,534 --> 00:26:08,527
We had no choice
this morning or just now.
336
00:26:09,601 --> 00:26:12,263
We were right to get angry.
337
00:26:14,334 --> 00:26:18,862
Bonuses? We're thinking
they're less complicated than they are.
338
00:26:19,100 --> 00:26:22,558
Or maybe more. I don't know.
339
00:26:22,901 --> 00:26:27,668
Lots of guys think their bonuses
are the assembly line and the foremen.
340
00:26:28,068 --> 00:26:32,903
You have to have seen
how a factory breaks out in an uproar.
341
00:26:33,202 --> 00:26:38,606
You're slogging away,
and then something breaks down.
342
00:26:39,035 --> 00:26:42,698
The guy starts yelling,
and so does everyone around him.
343
00:26:43,068 --> 00:26:46,902
Some don't even know
what they're yelling about.
344
00:26:47,235 --> 00:26:49,760
If people are yelling
on the second floor,
345
00:26:49,868 --> 00:26:52,166
people downstairs hear them
and start yelling too.
346
00:26:52,502 --> 00:26:56,165
Managers come running
because they're losing money.
347
00:26:56,502 --> 00:26:59,232
The working man always gets blamed.
348
00:26:59,435 --> 00:27:03,098
Sometimes the worker's bonus
gets docked 10%.
349
00:27:03,669 --> 00:27:09,198
The weekend guy usually loses
80% of his bonus.
350
00:27:10,735 --> 00:27:13,363
Let me explain
this morning's fight.
351
00:27:13,469 --> 00:27:16,836
You could suddenly put a face
on your docked pay.
352
00:27:16,936 --> 00:27:20,463
You talk to us about overall strategy.
353
00:27:20,702 --> 00:27:22,636
Maybe we'll agree,
354
00:27:22,735 --> 00:27:27,968
but some of us see it as
a deserved kick in the ass.
355
00:27:28,502 --> 00:27:30,697
I'm only speaking for myself,
356
00:27:30,969 --> 00:27:35,599
but the CGT's always fighting ghosts.
357
00:27:35,902 --> 00:27:37,870
You figure it out yourself,
358
00:27:37,969 --> 00:27:42,167
and you run into a guy you see every day
and who you think is your enemy.
359
00:27:42,436 --> 00:27:47,567
Then you're an irresponsible
troublemaker.
360
00:27:47,670 --> 00:27:49,501
It's more complicated than that.
361
00:27:50,169 --> 00:27:53,161
The union guys say -
362
00:27:53,269 --> 00:27:56,067
They act like there's nothing
outside the factory.
363
00:27:57,203 --> 00:27:59,535
It's hard to explain.
That's not it.
364
00:28:00,503 --> 00:28:03,495
It's as if you only existed
for eight hours a day.
365
00:28:04,236 --> 00:28:07,000
The union thinks for us workers.
366
00:28:07,103 --> 00:28:10,038
In the outside world, as a citizen,
367
00:28:10,336 --> 00:28:12,395
the party thinks for you
and you follow.
368
00:28:12,503 --> 00:28:14,994
All you can do
is light a candle for the left.
369
00:28:15,670 --> 00:28:17,661
The union only talks
about one problem,
370
00:28:17,770 --> 00:28:21,399
or only has one way
to talk about it - with figures.
371
00:28:21,670 --> 00:28:25,162
It's almost as confusing
as Giscard on TV.
372
00:28:25,670 --> 00:28:28,833
When the guys see
where the numbers lead -
373
00:28:28,937 --> 00:28:33,636
to work stoppages
and May Day parades -
374
00:28:33,737 --> 00:28:39,437
and when they get fed up
and do something on their own,
375
00:28:39,537 --> 00:28:41,505
they get yelled at,
376
00:28:41,671 --> 00:28:45,004
and they see it's the numbers
that stand in the way the most.
377
00:28:45,103 --> 00:28:48,595
You don't have to be
a leftist to think like that.
378
00:28:49,504 --> 00:28:52,701
The union guys used
to strike fear into people
379
00:28:52,804 --> 00:28:55,898
just by pointing at them
and shouting "Mao!"
380
00:28:56,238 --> 00:28:58,297
Now everyone laughs at them.
381
00:28:59,804 --> 00:29:01,738
I don't know what a Mao is,
382
00:29:01,838 --> 00:29:05,535
but if it's saying what I just said,
then there are lots of Maos here.
383
00:29:06,537 --> 00:29:09,700
The tall guy and the girl?
What do you expect us to do?
384
00:29:09,804 --> 00:29:12,500
We'll keep them here.
We're not gonna eat them.
385
00:29:12,771 --> 00:29:14,568
We'll wait.
386
00:29:15,438 --> 00:29:19,772
We locked up the manager.
Our anger was justified.
387
00:29:20,038 --> 00:29:24,270
He's locked up,
and it seems we're on the defensive.
388
00:29:25,505 --> 00:29:28,406
It's not going to be easy
with those other two.
389
00:29:29,605 --> 00:29:33,371
We'll see what management
and the union do now.
390
00:29:34,772 --> 00:29:37,639
It's good we didn't chicken out.
391
00:29:38,538 --> 00:29:41,564
Besides, we'll have some fun.
392
00:29:42,172 --> 00:29:45,039
At least a little.
393
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:13,967
- Would you stop it?
- Stop what?
394
00:30:14,072 --> 00:30:17,337
Pacing! It's pointless
and it bugs me.
395
00:30:18,439 --> 00:30:22,205
You're telling me!
Can't you see what's happening?
396
00:30:22,306 --> 00:30:24,069
You're locked up, too.
397
00:30:24,173 --> 00:30:26,698
- For me it's not a problem.
- Really?
398
00:30:26,806 --> 00:30:31,243
No, it's not!
I think they're justified.
399
00:30:31,873 --> 00:30:34,068
A hostage who approves
of the hostage-takers.
400
00:30:34,340 --> 00:30:36,831
Soon you'll be agreeing
with their methods.
401
00:30:36,940 --> 00:30:39,932
Methods? Let's talk
about motives instead.
402
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:42,907
When you were spouting
that garbage to my wife -
403
00:30:43,507 --> 00:30:45,498
Yes, garbage!
404
00:30:45,607 --> 00:30:50,067
Don't you know why you're here?
You can't be that stupid!
405
00:30:52,207 --> 00:30:54,300
Is everything all right?
406
00:30:54,407 --> 00:30:57,399
You're right,
but there's no point getting upset.
407
00:30:57,740 --> 00:31:00,106
You'll never convince this guy.
408
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,936
I didn't know
your husband was a leftist.
409
00:31:03,173 --> 00:31:05,334
He doesn't look like one.
410
00:31:05,707 --> 00:31:08,073
Very funny. Now answer me.
411
00:31:08,474 --> 00:31:11,307
If you don't change your tone,
we can't have a serious discussion.
412
00:31:11,407 --> 00:31:13,204
I refuse.
413
00:31:13,307 --> 00:31:16,743
That's what you said
before they brought you here.
414
00:31:16,841 --> 00:31:19,275
Don't forget: You're here too!
415
00:31:19,807 --> 00:31:23,709
I'll ask you the same question:
416
00:31:23,874 --> 00:31:27,139
Is everything all right with you?
417
00:31:27,408 --> 00:31:30,434
That's a bit much!
Is everything all right?
418
00:31:31,074 --> 00:31:33,167
The situation is fine.
419
00:31:34,107 --> 00:31:36,575
Say that in a few hours.
420
00:31:38,741 --> 00:31:40,675
Time really is dragging.
421
00:31:41,741 --> 00:31:45,404
Yes, I really have to stay.
422
00:31:47,408 --> 00:31:49,808
All the other girls are staying, too.
423
00:31:50,575 --> 00:31:54,807
Can't you take care
of the kids for once?
424
00:31:56,641 --> 00:31:59,269
When you occupied
your factory during your strike,
425
00:31:59,374 --> 00:32:01,535
I didn't make a fuss.
426
00:32:02,942 --> 00:32:06,343
I think it's the same thing.
427
00:32:06,541 --> 00:32:08,532
What a bastard!
428
00:32:09,008 --> 00:32:11,340
You women get back in the kitchen!
429
00:32:11,675 --> 00:32:14,803
No, nothing. Just a guy.
430
00:32:15,342 --> 00:32:17,674
A guy from the factory.
431
00:32:18,108 --> 00:32:20,508
Of course the guys are staying.
432
00:32:23,975 --> 00:32:27,376
You're too much.
That's not why I'm staying.
433
00:32:28,242 --> 00:32:31,370
Anyway, if you saw him -
he's an old guy.
434
00:32:31,542 --> 00:32:33,009
At least 60!
435
00:32:33,275 --> 00:32:35,675
Sixty years old, old man!
436
00:32:37,843 --> 00:32:40,676
So it's okay?
437
00:32:43,342 --> 00:32:45,640
I might even be home tonight.
438
00:32:46,242 --> 00:32:49,075
Who knows What'll happen?
439
00:32:52,542 --> 00:32:54,635
I made supper.
440
00:32:54,909 --> 00:32:57,707
Just heat up what's on the stove.
441
00:32:59,443 --> 00:33:01,809
Be careful with the kids' dinner.
442
00:33:03,776 --> 00:33:05,573
I have to go.
443
00:33:06,076 --> 00:33:08,067
Are you mad?
444
00:33:10,276 --> 00:33:12,335
I'll keep you posted.
445
00:33:14,143 --> 00:33:16,043
Good-bye.
446
00:33:16,143 --> 00:33:18,304
That was hard.
447
00:33:21,844 --> 00:33:24,244
I'm gonna take a piss.
448
00:33:30,910 --> 00:33:32,309
Who?
449
00:33:33,844 --> 00:33:35,573
Who?
450
00:33:37,044 --> 00:33:38,443
It's the manager.
451
00:33:38,543 --> 00:33:39,908
Idiot!
452
00:33:41,577 --> 00:33:43,704
What do you want?
453
00:33:44,377 --> 00:33:47,813
Tell me what you want!
- What does that asshole want?
454
00:33:51,244 --> 00:33:53,769
You want to go piss?
455
00:33:54,977 --> 00:33:57,309
He says he wants to go piss!
456
00:33:58,844 --> 00:34:01,506
No need to fly
the white flag for that!
457
00:34:01,644 --> 00:34:04,636
Go ahead! We can't stop you.
458
00:34:05,244 --> 00:34:08,338
Lucien! Go with him.
459
00:34:12,511 --> 00:34:16,208
We don't trust you.
You tried to run away once already.
460
00:34:16,311 --> 00:34:18,279
It's occupied!
461
00:34:30,444 --> 00:34:32,309
Do you mind?
462
00:34:34,178 --> 00:34:36,612
Georges, it's the manager!
463
00:34:37,078 --> 00:34:39,512
Leave me alone!
464
00:34:40,178 --> 00:34:42,203
It's really the manager.
465
00:34:42,312 --> 00:34:44,576
So what do you want me to do?
466
00:34:58,045 --> 00:34:59,876
Would you hurry up?
467
00:34:59,979 --> 00:35:01,913
Who does he think he is?
468
00:35:02,078 --> 00:35:04,103
When I work a four-hour shift,
469
00:35:04,345 --> 00:35:06,836
I'm allowed two
five-minute breaks to piss,
470
00:35:06,946 --> 00:35:09,813
with the foreman's permission.
471
00:35:09,912 --> 00:35:12,676
Since the can is five minutes
from the shop,
472
00:35:12,779 --> 00:35:15,339
I get docked every time.
473
00:35:15,846 --> 00:35:18,781
And the cans are disgusting!
474
00:35:18,879 --> 00:35:23,282
If he's in such a hurry,
let him use one of those!
475
00:35:23,379 --> 00:35:25,040
Shit!
476
00:35:25,146 --> 00:35:27,171
Have some manners!
477
00:35:27,279 --> 00:35:29,440
He's right, you know.
478
00:35:29,546 --> 00:35:34,984
You have three minutes to go
and come back. I'm timing you.
479
00:35:35,079 --> 00:35:38,105
Hey, cheating already!
False start!
480
00:35:38,313 --> 00:35:39,405
On your mark.
481
00:35:39,613 --> 00:35:43,674
5, 4, 3, 2, 1, zero!
482
00:35:43,780 --> 00:35:45,441
And he's off!
483
00:35:58,780 --> 00:36:00,475
Where's the bathroom?
484
00:36:00,580 --> 00:36:01,877
That way.
485
00:36:08,980 --> 00:36:11,380
- It's locked.
- Try that way.
486
00:36:14,347 --> 00:36:17,407
I can't find it.
487
00:36:19,547 --> 00:36:22,277
Just tell me
where the bathroom is.
488
00:36:22,447 --> 00:36:24,278
Shit! Figure it out yourself!
489
00:36:24,481 --> 00:36:26,881
What about fair play?
490
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:30,345
Who are these people?
491
00:36:32,981 --> 00:36:35,711
Sorry. You're too late!
492
00:36:35,814 --> 00:36:38,374
I can't stand it!
493
00:36:38,481 --> 00:36:39,948
Same thing's happened to me.
494
00:36:40,048 --> 00:36:42,516
I'd used up my two breaks.
I was sick.
495
00:36:42,614 --> 00:36:45,276
I asked the foreman if I could go.
496
00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:47,814
He told me to shit in my pants.
497
00:36:48,181 --> 00:36:51,514
You see? Those are the rules.
We didn't make them.
498
00:36:51,747 --> 00:36:54,113
Now back to work!
499
00:36:55,814 --> 00:36:58,339
Head down
and you'll look like a runner.
500
00:37:01,448 --> 00:37:03,211
Occupied!
501
00:37:04,881 --> 00:37:08,908
- Out of my way!
- The people will get you!
502
00:37:10,381 --> 00:37:13,441
Bastard!
The people will have your hide.
503
00:37:18,048 --> 00:37:21,040
Excuse me, but I have to piss!
504
00:37:41,982 --> 00:37:43,916
How far will they go?
505
00:37:51,082 --> 00:37:52,845
How far will they go?
506
00:37:53,149 --> 00:37:58,109
The class struggle is not
a dinner party, cha-cha-cha!
507
00:38:12,382 --> 00:38:16,284
This is the 5:00 evening news.
508
00:38:24,317 --> 00:38:27,411
Did you see that?
Don't pretend you didn't.
509
00:38:29,050 --> 00:38:30,779
Sadistic hooligans!
510
00:38:33,850 --> 00:38:36,683
They can't just humiliate
a man like that.
511
00:38:37,050 --> 00:38:39,575
I'd feel the same way
if they did it to you.
512
00:38:42,650 --> 00:38:45,380
But it won't happen like that.
513
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:50,949
I'm ready to talk, make concessions.
I have an open mind.
514
00:38:51,250 --> 00:38:54,879
But I won't let
mental patients control me.
515
00:38:54,984 --> 00:38:57,851
Send the ringleaders to jail!
516
00:38:59,017 --> 00:39:00,484
It's always the same:
517
00:39:00,684 --> 00:39:03,585
Give 'em an inch
and they take a mile.
518
00:39:04,117 --> 00:39:06,347
I've always been a liberal,
519
00:39:06,450 --> 00:39:12,480
but sometimes what's needed
is a good kick in the ass.
520
00:39:18,951 --> 00:39:21,476
A good kick in the ass.
521
00:39:41,251 --> 00:39:45,620
Georgette was talking
to the reporter.
522
00:39:45,818 --> 00:39:47,877
Luce, Simone, Natalie
and I were listening.
523
00:39:51,551 --> 00:39:54,384
Georgette was talking
in a soft voice
524
00:39:54,818 --> 00:39:56,752
about the factory,
the assembly line,
525
00:39:56,852 --> 00:40:01,516
the inspectors who grope you
hoping they'll get lucky.
526
00:40:01,618 --> 00:40:05,384
They're after you like dogs
if you don't go along.
527
00:40:05,618 --> 00:40:07,848
Even the working guys
always whistle
528
00:40:07,952 --> 00:40:10,785
and say disgusting things
as you walk past.
529
00:40:12,419 --> 00:40:15,616
She talked about her four kids
and her boyfriend,
530
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:17,744
housework after her shift
531
00:40:18,319 --> 00:40:20,753
and housework before her shift.
532
00:40:20,852 --> 00:40:23,912
About cooking dinner,
and how the day care is miles away.
533
00:40:24,219 --> 00:40:26,744
The fear of having another kid.
534
00:40:26,853 --> 00:40:30,289
The doctor who made her
so afraid of the pill
535
00:40:30,385 --> 00:40:32,615
that it took her two years
to start using it.
536
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,051
Meanwhile, she had
another mouth to feed.
537
00:40:36,219 --> 00:40:38,744
I got irritated listening to her.
538
00:40:38,853 --> 00:40:41,913
It was all true,
but the way she told it was wrong.
539
00:40:42,619 --> 00:40:46,055
The poverty that
expensively dressed reporter
540
00:40:46,153 --> 00:40:48,144
was scribbling about
wasn't Georgette's.
541
00:40:48,253 --> 00:40:50,414
I got fed up and felt like singing.
542
00:40:51,253 --> 00:40:52,845
A leftist song.
543
00:40:52,953 --> 00:40:55,786
You're gonna get it, Mr. Boss Man.
544
00:40:56,119 --> 00:40:59,611
You want to deal with us?
You'll find out you can't.
545
00:40:59,786 --> 00:41:03,381
We can't be bought
with a 10-franc raise this time.
546
00:41:03,487 --> 00:41:05,580
Give us 100 and we'll ask for 1,000.
547
00:41:05,853 --> 00:41:08,879
Give us 100,000
and we'll ask for more.
548
00:41:09,053 --> 00:41:12,318
You tricked us
with your representatives.
549
00:41:12,420 --> 00:41:14,854
Your projects fail
because we're against you.
550
00:41:14,954 --> 00:41:17,946
We don't want categories and titles.
551
00:41:18,186 --> 00:41:20,882
No more divisions!
On the assembly line, we're one.
552
00:41:21,987 --> 00:41:23,921
Funny. It's like TV.
553
00:41:24,186 --> 00:41:26,177
A reporter asks dumb questions,
554
00:41:26,286 --> 00:41:29,619
the guy talks and no one
around him interrupts.
555
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:34,178
If Georgette heard herself,
she'd be disappointed.
556
00:41:34,420 --> 00:41:37,685
She'd be bored herself,
and in her soft voice she'd say,
557
00:41:37,787 --> 00:41:39,982
"It sounds so lame.
Doesn't make you want to fight. "
558
00:41:40,087 --> 00:41:42,521
The reporter would stop in surprise.
559
00:41:48,421 --> 00:41:53,051
I'm exaggerating.
Georgette doesn't talk that much.
560
00:41:53,654 --> 00:41:56,680
She's been locked up
all day with that bastard.
561
00:41:57,221 --> 00:41:58,984
Anyway, we can sing.
562
00:41:59,087 --> 00:42:00,611
A leftist song.
563
00:42:01,087 --> 00:42:04,284
You're gonna get it, Mr. Boss Man.
564
00:42:04,521 --> 00:42:07,046
We're sick of waiting
and getting clubbed.
565
00:42:07,154 --> 00:42:10,590
The unions told us to be patient,
and we kept on working.
566
00:42:10,821 --> 00:42:12,948
But we never talked about struggle.
567
00:42:13,121 --> 00:42:16,488
We've woken up
and we've learned how to fight.
568
00:42:16,588 --> 00:42:18,715
This time we'll decide how it goes.
569
00:42:18,821 --> 00:42:20,914
And you who run away,
570
00:42:21,021 --> 00:42:23,353
listen to the silence
of your factories.
571
00:42:23,454 --> 00:42:26,082
Tomorrow it may be
machine guns you hear.
572
00:42:40,789 --> 00:42:42,620
Oh, you're an athlete.
573
00:42:43,155 --> 00:42:47,148
I got into the habit during my captivity.
Keeps me in shape.
574
00:42:48,589 --> 00:42:52,320
The cult of Swedish gymnastics,
575
00:42:52,422 --> 00:42:55,550
for healthy, tanned
and fit managers.
576
00:42:57,856 --> 00:42:59,483
Getting anywhere?
577
00:43:00,122 --> 00:43:03,250
It's not easy.
I'm missing some data.
578
00:43:03,355 --> 00:43:05,550
Or maybe I have too much.
579
00:43:06,889 --> 00:43:11,553
I don't even know
if it can be published.
580
00:43:11,655 --> 00:43:13,418
Though it's really not that extreme.
581
00:43:13,522 --> 00:43:15,012
May I read it?
582
00:43:15,223 --> 00:43:17,783
Yes, but be kind.
583
00:43:29,856 --> 00:43:32,586
I need some more information.
584
00:43:33,256 --> 00:43:35,383
Well, here I am.
585
00:43:35,490 --> 00:43:38,721
Where the hell are they?
They've been gone an hour.
586
00:43:38,890 --> 00:43:41,757
It's the usual information meeting.
587
00:43:41,957 --> 00:43:45,358
The union guys
go on and on for hours.
588
00:43:45,923 --> 00:43:48,187
Afterwards, everyone's
even more confused.
589
00:43:48,289 --> 00:43:50,416
You think it's gonna fail?
590
00:43:52,556 --> 00:43:53,955
What are you doing?
591
00:43:54,157 --> 00:43:55,954
That's my business.
592
00:43:56,723 --> 00:43:58,884
Shit!
593
00:43:59,656 --> 00:44:03,717
All we've done since yesterday
is wait outside this damned door!
594
00:44:03,823 --> 00:44:06,587
A lot of good it does
holding the manager!
595
00:44:06,790 --> 00:44:09,782
We don't know what to do with him.
It's stupid!
596
00:44:09,890 --> 00:44:11,915
What else can we do?
597
00:44:12,290 --> 00:44:14,224
I don't know.
598
00:44:17,257 --> 00:44:19,452
What do you think about those two?
599
00:44:19,691 --> 00:44:21,818
The girl is pretty cute.
600
00:44:21,924 --> 00:44:23,949
That's not what I meant!
601
00:44:24,991 --> 00:44:26,982
I'm starting to think
we made a mistake.
602
00:44:27,157 --> 00:44:30,354
We should have explained
things to them.
603
00:44:30,791 --> 00:44:33,919
We don't even know
what paper she works for.
604
00:44:34,124 --> 00:44:36,354
What could she possibly write?
605
00:44:36,457 --> 00:44:38,823
Maybe she won't write anything.
606
00:44:38,924 --> 00:44:41,449
Once I worked in a place
607
00:44:41,557 --> 00:44:44,287
and a guy came and wrote an article,
but it was never published.
608
00:44:45,591 --> 00:44:47,650
We should have explained it to them.
609
00:44:47,858 --> 00:44:49,485
Explained what?
610
00:44:49,791 --> 00:44:54,728
At first we were right to lock them up.
But now it's different.
611
00:44:56,824 --> 00:44:59,622
Stop dwelling on it.
612
00:45:05,291 --> 00:45:06,417
Well?
613
00:45:06,525 --> 00:45:08,117
Everyone's with us.
614
00:45:08,225 --> 00:45:10,090
Isn't that what counts?
615
00:45:10,391 --> 00:45:12,450
Even the CGT guys
changed their tune.
616
00:45:12,692 --> 00:45:14,626
They were really tough.
617
00:45:14,892 --> 00:45:17,383
- Well?
- That's where you're wrong.
618
00:45:17,558 --> 00:45:20,618
They had no choice but to get tough.
619
00:45:21,525 --> 00:45:24,153
They made
a complete mess of it at first.
620
00:45:24,758 --> 00:45:27,591
Then they just let it deteriorate,
621
00:45:28,192 --> 00:45:31,650
while yelling that management's offer
was too low.
622
00:45:32,892 --> 00:45:36,293
Doesn't stop them
from scheming, though.
623
00:45:36,558 --> 00:45:38,389
They know they'll wear us down.
624
00:45:38,658 --> 00:45:41,718
- What happened?
- We're still holding.
625
00:45:42,925 --> 00:45:47,157
Except that our hostage-taking
really sticks in their craw.
626
00:45:51,092 --> 00:45:54,619
We didn't want Laffont
to see the manager.
627
00:45:55,192 --> 00:45:58,593
They finally managed
to get the guys to agree.
628
00:45:59,326 --> 00:46:02,318
We were watching like hawks
for signs of betrayal.
629
00:46:03,326 --> 00:46:06,784
You should have heard
what they said.
630
00:46:06,893 --> 00:46:11,353
What? Laffont, the assistant
manager, is coming here?
631
00:46:12,292 --> 00:46:13,884
Finally, we got out.
632
00:46:13,993 --> 00:46:16,052
It's about time, Laffont.
633
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,253
I did what I could, sir.
634
00:46:19,493 --> 00:46:22,223
STICK TO THE TRUTH,
EVEN IF IT SEEMS UNLIKELY.
635
00:46:22,659 --> 00:46:25,492
I can't hear!
What are they saying?
636
00:46:26,327 --> 00:46:30,388
Sorry, but I want to speak
to my associate alone.
637
00:46:34,527 --> 00:46:36,825
Finally, we got out.
638
00:46:36,993 --> 00:46:39,928
They looked at us
and we looked at them.
639
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,858
I hope it didn't bother you
too much staying here.
640
00:46:43,093 --> 00:46:46,961
A day and a night with that guy
wasn't too much fun.
641
00:46:47,260 --> 00:46:49,023
With you guys,
it would've been different.
642
00:46:49,126 --> 00:46:55,554
So much was happening
that we had no other choice.
643
00:46:55,794 --> 00:46:58,695
We're not mad at you at all.
644
00:46:59,061 --> 00:47:00,460
You're a reporter, right?
645
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,822
Yes.
646
00:47:02,328 --> 00:47:04,956
Are you going to write
about what's going on?
647
00:47:05,627 --> 00:47:07,925
- I'll try.
- Then we have to explain it to you.
648
00:47:08,027 --> 00:47:09,426
What?
649
00:47:09,527 --> 00:47:12,257
The factory and everything.
650
00:47:15,495 --> 00:47:20,558
I think I understand the problem.
651
00:47:20,794 --> 00:47:23,160
You haven't even asked any questions.
652
00:47:23,528 --> 00:47:26,759
You didn't let me,
but I understand that.
653
00:47:26,994 --> 00:47:29,326
But I saw what happened.
654
00:47:29,595 --> 00:47:32,428
The reasons are more complicated.
655
00:47:32,528 --> 00:47:35,497
You have to hear
about our working conditions.
656
00:47:37,461 --> 00:47:40,988
When I started,
I couldn't stand the smell.
657
00:47:41,194 --> 00:47:45,392
I could still smell it
after I left work.
658
00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:47,429
Once, to tease me,
659
00:47:47,661 --> 00:47:50,459
my friends started
sniffing around and saying,
660
00:47:50,561 --> 00:47:52,426
"Smells like a pig around here!"
661
00:47:52,761 --> 00:47:55,229
I was just a kid,
and I was embarrassed.
662
00:47:55,495 --> 00:47:57,725
I spent a fortune on perfume!
663
00:47:58,728 --> 00:48:02,596
That's not so bad.
It's disgusting, but you get used to it.
664
00:48:02,862 --> 00:48:06,730
But transporting the meat -
that's really no fun!
665
00:48:07,295 --> 00:48:09,092
Pigs are really heavy.
666
00:48:10,095 --> 00:48:15,499
You see a new guy
happily carrying tons of them.
667
00:48:15,995 --> 00:48:20,762
After a few days,
he can't even bend over.
668
00:48:22,195 --> 00:48:25,926
That's not all.
Think about the sausage room.
669
00:48:26,029 --> 00:48:27,053
The sausage room?
670
00:48:27,162 --> 00:48:30,393
Where the meat is stuffed
into casings.
671
00:48:30,963 --> 00:48:33,227
Then you tie them off.
672
00:48:46,796 --> 00:48:48,764
You do that all day long.
673
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:52,228
You get breaks,
but you stop noticing them.
674
00:48:52,762 --> 00:48:55,458
It's incredibly boring and repetitive.
675
00:49:15,030 --> 00:49:18,227
You try to think of something else,
but you can't,
676
00:49:18,463 --> 00:49:22,957
because they keep
speeding up the pace.
677
00:49:38,464 --> 00:49:41,126
All you can think about
is keeping up.
678
00:49:41,231 --> 00:49:45,429
The foremen won't let you forget,
and some of them are real pigs!
679
00:49:59,564 --> 00:50:01,429
That's not right.
680
00:50:02,098 --> 00:50:03,963
What's not right?
681
00:50:04,531 --> 00:50:06,931
The way you explain things.
682
00:50:07,865 --> 00:50:09,958
What's wrong with it?
683
00:50:10,731 --> 00:50:13,666
Nothing. It's just not right.
684
00:50:14,664 --> 00:50:17,656
I agree with him.
685
00:50:17,831 --> 00:50:21,392
We're all mad at Stacquet
and the CGT guys,
686
00:50:21,764 --> 00:50:24,790
but we're talking
just like they would.
687
00:50:25,031 --> 00:50:27,556
- What nerve!
- Don't get mad.
688
00:50:27,665 --> 00:50:30,361
If Stacquet took them on a tour,
689
00:50:30,665 --> 00:50:32,758
he'd say the same things we just said.
690
00:50:36,998 --> 00:50:39,523
He'd show them the shop.
691
00:50:39,665 --> 00:50:43,658
Then he'd say,
"See how disgusting it is?
692
00:50:45,665 --> 00:50:47,360
See how disgusting it is?
693
00:50:49,832 --> 00:50:51,857
See how disgusting it is!"
694
00:50:52,232 --> 00:50:54,928
Then he'd show them
the union pamphlet.
695
00:50:57,132 --> 00:50:58,724
Aren't we doing the same thing?
696
00:50:58,832 --> 00:51:02,359
Except he thinks foremen
are necessary.
697
00:51:02,499 --> 00:51:07,061
He can't imagine
a factory without foremen.
698
00:51:07,266 --> 00:51:09,860
He wouldn't mention them!
- Okay, okay.
699
00:51:10,132 --> 00:51:13,863
These are good details
to write an article about.
700
00:51:13,999 --> 00:51:17,196
But you should write about
what's happened since yesterday,
701
00:51:17,433 --> 00:51:19,799
which is a big change
for this factory.
702
00:51:20,266 --> 00:51:22,826
The fact we locked up the manager.
703
00:51:28,566 --> 00:51:30,158
- What is it?
- You're fired.
704
00:51:30,500 --> 00:51:32,195
- What?
- You're fired.
705
00:51:32,500 --> 00:51:34,832
- What?
- Fired.
706
00:51:35,733 --> 00:51:37,928
Germain fighting with Stacquet.
707
00:51:38,366 --> 00:51:42,564
You've got a big mouth,
like all leftists.
708
00:51:42,666 --> 00:51:44,258
Lucien refusing to let
the manager piss.
709
00:51:44,366 --> 00:51:46,926
Sorry. You're too late!
710
00:51:47,167 --> 00:51:49,727
I can't stand it!
711
00:51:49,833 --> 00:51:52,427
It may not sound like much,
712
00:51:52,733 --> 00:51:56,100
but it means a lot to me.
713
00:51:56,200 --> 00:51:58,760
- Fine. Let's talk about it now.
- Okay.
714
00:52:00,733 --> 00:52:03,861
When you read
about a factory in the paper,
715
00:52:04,100 --> 00:52:06,295
it's full of boring details,
716
00:52:07,234 --> 00:52:11,000
as if the guy had just discovered
factories for the first time.
717
00:52:11,767 --> 00:52:14,793
He feels pity.
He practically cries.
718
00:52:15,167 --> 00:52:18,603
But he never shows the struggle,
how things change,
719
00:52:19,068 --> 00:52:22,902
how good it can feel
to lay into a real pain in the ass.
720
00:52:23,701 --> 00:52:26,534
Workers are always
made to look sinister.
721
00:52:27,068 --> 00:52:30,697
It's complicated.
I can't explain.
722
00:52:33,434 --> 00:52:36,562
After the forces
of law and order intervened,
723
00:52:36,801 --> 00:52:39,463
work resumed today
at the Salumi plant.
724
00:52:39,701 --> 00:52:44,695
The manager, Mr. Guidotti, returned home
after five days of confinement.
725
00:52:44,901 --> 00:52:48,667
A reporter and her husband,
who had also been detained,
726
00:52:48,934 --> 00:52:51,027
returned to their regular occupations.
727
00:52:51,235 --> 00:52:54,932
In Vietnam, communist forces
attacked Loc Ninh.
728
00:52:55,034 --> 00:52:59,266
A shower of rockets
rained down on government forces.
729
00:52:59,368 --> 00:53:02,303
- What's the footage?
- 85.
730
00:53:04,768 --> 00:53:07,362
- What's the f-stop?
- 3.5.
731
00:53:09,335 --> 00:53:11,701
- Roll the sound.
- Yes, sir.
732
00:53:18,668 --> 00:53:20,260
Check the framing.
733
00:53:26,436 --> 00:53:28,870
Bring the 1000 forward.
734
00:53:31,735 --> 00:53:34,636
Mark where the girls' feet are.
735
00:53:39,035 --> 00:53:42,596
Move the two-kilo.
736
00:53:43,236 --> 00:53:45,864
Shine it on the door.
- It's on.
737
00:53:50,402 --> 00:53:52,927
Is that the 50?
738
00:53:54,135 --> 00:53:55,864
Give me the 75.
739
00:53:59,669 --> 00:54:01,330
Take this down for me.
740
00:54:03,769 --> 00:54:08,570
What am I doing?
You can see I'm starting a shoot.
741
00:54:09,070 --> 00:54:11,061
No, a commercial.
742
00:54:12,270 --> 00:54:14,170
Occasionally.
743
00:54:14,836 --> 00:54:16,929
If you must define me,
744
00:54:17,036 --> 00:54:20,062
say I'm a filmmaker
who sometimes makes commercials.
745
00:54:20,637 --> 00:54:23,037
The distinction is important to me.
746
00:54:24,337 --> 00:54:26,396
The advertising business?
747
00:54:27,303 --> 00:54:30,795
Yes, it's pretty stupid and corrupt.
748
00:54:31,604 --> 00:54:35,631
Did you see those agency guys on the set?
Unbelievable, huh?
749
00:54:37,237 --> 00:54:40,832
Anyway, it's just
a way to make a living
750
00:54:41,071 --> 00:54:43,972
without too much trouble
so I can do other things.
751
00:54:44,504 --> 00:54:46,734
Or at least I try.
752
00:54:48,937 --> 00:54:50,962
I used to make films.
753
00:54:51,071 --> 00:54:54,802
For various reasons, I stopped,
at least for a while.
754
00:54:55,071 --> 00:54:57,631
I had to pay the rent.
755
00:54:57,837 --> 00:55:01,534
I looked at all the possible things
I could do.
756
00:55:03,904 --> 00:55:07,465
It seems like the easy way out,
and maybe it is,
757
00:55:07,704 --> 00:55:12,607
but three years ago, it wasn't.
758
00:55:15,438 --> 00:55:18,100
Oh, all kinds of reasons.
759
00:55:18,971 --> 00:55:21,769
A lot of things influenced
my decision.
760
00:55:22,505 --> 00:55:25,167
What happened with Susan.
761
00:55:26,005 --> 00:55:28,098
All kinds of things.
762
00:55:30,271 --> 00:55:32,705
I told you I made films.
763
00:55:32,972 --> 00:55:36,135
I was a screenwriter
during the New Wave.
764
00:55:38,538 --> 00:55:41,598
That's so long ago.
765
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:47,174
I really got sick of it.
766
00:55:47,538 --> 00:55:49,972
Well before May '68,
767
00:55:50,138 --> 00:55:53,005
I got tired of making art films.
768
00:55:53,105 --> 00:55:54,868
I was going nowhere.
769
00:55:54,972 --> 00:55:58,305
I was ready for May to hit me,
and that's what happened.
770
00:56:00,905 --> 00:56:03,066
Did I take part in May?
771
00:56:03,439 --> 00:56:05,964
Yes and no, like everyone.
772
00:56:07,539 --> 00:56:10,099
Most of my friends
got caught up in it,
773
00:56:10,205 --> 00:56:14,608
marching from the Odéon
to the Sorbonne.
774
00:56:15,806 --> 00:56:18,969
It was serious,
and at the same time it wasn't.
775
00:56:20,839 --> 00:56:26,175
You'd run into people at meetings
where you couldn't help thinking,
776
00:56:26,806 --> 00:56:29,070
"That joker's here?
777
00:56:29,340 --> 00:56:32,707
With the films he makes,
he's got some nerve!"
778
00:56:34,073 --> 00:56:37,907
Funny thing is, he probably thought
the same thing about you.
779
00:56:40,739 --> 00:56:44,038
You wouldn't believe
how many things I saw back then
780
00:56:44,139 --> 00:56:46,607
that drove me away.
781
00:56:47,873 --> 00:56:50,103
That time in Flins, for example.
782
00:56:50,939 --> 00:56:52,964
Or the week I spent
in Issy-Les-Moulins
783
00:56:53,073 --> 00:56:56,509
with a guy who called himself
a Marxist-Leninist
784
00:56:56,940 --> 00:57:01,274
and who knew
the factory guys, the CSF.
785
00:57:03,106 --> 00:57:06,269
And Susan and I...
786
00:57:06,373 --> 00:57:10,707
that was right at the beginning.
787
00:57:12,340 --> 00:57:15,173
We lived through
the month of May together.
788
00:57:17,107 --> 00:57:20,406
It sounds silly and romantic,
789
00:57:21,341 --> 00:57:23,571
but it was great.
790
00:57:25,707 --> 00:57:27,834
When everything returned to normal
791
00:57:27,940 --> 00:57:32,070
and they asked me to direct
an adaptation
792
00:57:32,174 --> 00:57:36,736
of an American detective novel
by David Goodis,
793
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:38,501
I gave it all up.
794
00:57:38,741 --> 00:57:42,336
It seemed a ridiculous waste of time.
795
00:57:43,007 --> 00:57:47,068
I figured it was more honest
to make commercials
796
00:57:47,508 --> 00:57:49,976
than to make such a stupid film.
797
00:57:51,241 --> 00:57:54,210
I gave it some thought.
798
00:57:55,041 --> 00:57:57,271
I still think about what I could do,
799
00:57:58,141 --> 00:58:01,599
what the system would let me do.
800
00:58:03,275 --> 00:58:06,972
What kinds of films
I could try to make.
801
00:58:08,774 --> 00:58:12,210
I've been planning a political film
about France for three years.
802
00:58:16,041 --> 00:58:18,100
It's not that easy.
803
00:58:19,041 --> 00:58:22,977
I'm only now starting
to understand things
804
00:58:23,275 --> 00:58:26,403
that Brecht pointed out
over 40 years ago.
805
00:58:27,675 --> 00:58:30,542
Do you know his preface to Mahogany?.
806
00:58:31,442 --> 00:58:33,307
Isn't it brilliant?
807
00:58:35,775 --> 00:58:37,675
Political activity?
808
00:58:38,775 --> 00:58:41,744
No, not in the usual sense.
809
00:58:42,342 --> 00:58:46,574
For years,
I voted communist as a reflex.
810
00:58:47,642 --> 00:58:50,133
But I was never
a member of the party.
811
00:58:50,609 --> 00:58:52,975
Meetings for the Rosenbergs,
812
00:58:53,442 --> 00:58:56,104
demonstrations during
the Algerian War,
813
00:58:56,575 --> 00:58:59,544
May Day, Spain...
814
00:59:01,076 --> 00:59:05,638
Then there was May '68
and Czechoslovakia.
815
00:59:06,710 --> 00:59:09,372
It got to be too much,
and I couldn't do it anymore.
816
00:59:12,976 --> 00:59:14,534
Now?
817
00:59:16,409 --> 00:59:20,869
Now things are more clear-cut,
but more complicated too.
818
00:59:23,443 --> 00:59:25,968
Leftists? Yes, I know lots of them.
819
00:59:26,843 --> 00:59:29,209
In their eyes, I'm a democrat.
820
00:59:29,510 --> 00:59:33,640
They call me sometimes.
It doesn't much help.
821
00:59:35,210 --> 00:59:40,409
I find the idea of reeducation
for intellectuals a little disturbing.
822
00:59:42,344 --> 00:59:45,939
Maybe the people I know
just don't explain it well.
823
00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:50,373
Anyway, most people I know
824
00:59:50,843 --> 00:59:52,777
went back to their status quo,
825
00:59:53,077 --> 00:59:55,170
in particular
in the Communist Party.
826
00:59:59,444 --> 01:00:01,309
The hostage-taking?
827
01:00:01,544 --> 01:00:05,640
You mean at the factory
where I went with Susan?
828
01:00:06,777 --> 01:00:10,076
To tell you the truth,
I didn't know how to react.
829
01:00:10,344 --> 01:00:13,142
It was like someone gave me
a role to play,
830
01:00:13,244 --> 01:00:17,613
and I kept forgetting my lines.
831
01:00:19,444 --> 01:00:22,311
I went there to see a factory
three years after May
832
01:00:22,410 --> 01:00:25,811
and listen to some
hotshot manager go on and on.
833
01:00:27,245 --> 01:00:29,475
I got what I asked for.
834
01:00:31,111 --> 01:00:35,207
I'm sorry, but I have to
get back to it. Bye.
835
01:00:36,278 --> 01:00:37,575
Music.
836
01:02:37,047 --> 01:02:38,810
I've had it.
837
01:02:39,081 --> 01:02:42,278
If it goes on like this, it's gonna be
exactly the same every week.
838
01:02:43,747 --> 01:02:47,080
I've been working at ABS in Paris
for 31/2 years.
839
01:02:48,381 --> 01:02:51,179
I used to be in the cultural department.
840
01:02:51,914 --> 01:02:55,680
Literary criticism,
movie reviews, depending.
841
01:02:56,647 --> 01:02:58,842
But it bored me stiff,
842
01:02:59,114 --> 01:03:01,548
so after May, I transferred
to the political bureau.
843
01:03:01,981 --> 01:03:05,610
Not completely. I'm sort of
halfway between the two.
844
01:03:06,448 --> 01:03:09,781
What happened was
May caught them by surprise.
845
01:03:10,147 --> 01:03:12,843
I seized my chance
and brought them some stuff...
846
01:03:14,648 --> 01:03:19,347
interviews with people that I met
through Jacques or his friends:
847
01:03:22,448 --> 01:03:25,542
Profiles of Cohn-Bendit and Geismar.
848
01:03:25,848 --> 01:03:28,612
That was why it was possible for me
to change my status here.
849
01:03:30,148 --> 01:03:33,174
I became known as
the "specialist on the Left,"
850
01:03:33,815 --> 01:03:36,215
which is pretty funny
when you think about it.
851
01:03:42,415 --> 01:03:45,509
After May, everything fell apart.
852
01:03:45,982 --> 01:03:48,348
They didn't care about my copy.
853
01:03:49,282 --> 01:03:51,045
The time was over.
854
01:03:51,182 --> 01:03:53,707
I told myself it was because
I scared them,
855
01:03:53,948 --> 01:03:57,008
but I know it wasn't
really that simple.
856
01:03:57,282 --> 01:04:00,080
I was trying to write
about different topics,
857
01:04:00,182 --> 01:04:04,448
to avoid always writing
about students.
858
01:04:04,549 --> 01:04:06,540
I proposed doing studies.
859
01:04:09,649 --> 01:04:11,640
The weird thing is I fought like hell
860
01:04:11,749 --> 01:04:16,186
to make them see they would have
to report on this or that,
861
01:04:16,782 --> 01:04:20,582
but I'm perfectly aware of the fact
that I'm incapable of writing it.
862
01:04:23,383 --> 01:04:27,615
I work crazy all week on a 30-second spot,
and I can't even do it.
863
01:04:35,283 --> 01:04:37,274
Maybe it's a question of style.
864
01:04:38,049 --> 01:04:41,917
I don't know if you understand,
but the office has its own style.
865
01:04:42,483 --> 01:04:44,542
If you listen to the broadcasts,
866
01:04:44,650 --> 01:04:48,142
it's like everything was written
by the same person.
867
01:04:48,316 --> 01:04:51,717
But I realized that for me
to say what I want to say,
868
01:04:51,817 --> 01:04:53,785
that style doesn't work.
869
01:04:54,250 --> 01:04:56,150
Only I don't have an alternative.
870
01:04:57,884 --> 01:05:00,250
But I tried.
This time I made an effort
871
01:05:00,517 --> 01:05:04,351
with the piece about the factory
that was just refused.
872
01:05:11,251 --> 01:05:13,913
It's like the subject matter,
the material itself,
873
01:05:14,017 --> 01:05:17,248
forces you to think and write
in a different way.
874
01:05:18,617 --> 01:05:20,482
I don't know.
875
01:05:21,750 --> 01:05:24,719
The more I move forward,
the less I understand what's happening.
876
01:05:26,117 --> 01:05:29,348
The things I'm involved with in France
are becoming less and less clear to me.
877
01:05:32,150 --> 01:05:36,109
I'm an American correspondent in France
who no longer corresponds to anything.
878
01:07:50,521 --> 01:07:52,580
It's going to be ice-cold.
879
01:07:58,921 --> 01:08:02,015
Rattlesnake, cobra
880
01:08:10,954 --> 01:08:13,218
Still in a bad mood?
881
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:15,914
Don't you think
last night was enough?
882
01:08:17,154 --> 01:08:20,521
I wanted sex and you didn't.
So what?
883
01:08:20,754 --> 01:08:22,449
Don't start!
884
01:08:22,921 --> 01:08:26,618
Even if I wasn't in a bad mood,
saying that would put me in one.
885
01:08:26,854 --> 01:08:29,254
Okay, I was wrong to say that.
886
01:08:29,355 --> 01:08:32,483
But you're bringing
your work problems home.
887
01:08:33,121 --> 01:08:37,251
Can't we talk about this calmly?
888
01:08:37,722 --> 01:08:39,690
There are two issues:
889
01:08:39,788 --> 01:08:43,155
They won't print your articles,
and you have writer's block.
890
01:08:43,421 --> 01:08:46,151
It happens.
Don't beat yourself up.
891
01:08:46,355 --> 01:08:48,846
It's like traffic.
892
01:08:48,989 --> 01:08:50,616
Traffic?
893
01:08:50,722 --> 01:08:53,589
Yes. You're jammed.
894
01:08:57,355 --> 01:09:00,620
- I'm jammed?
- I didn't mean it to be nasty!
895
01:09:01,655 --> 01:09:04,351
I'll end up wondering
why we're together.
896
01:09:04,455 --> 01:09:07,549
- Start now.
- Start what?
897
01:09:08,155 --> 01:09:10,055
Wondering why we're together.
898
01:09:10,322 --> 01:09:13,758
We meet, we see a movie,
we eat, we have sex.
899
01:09:14,022 --> 01:09:15,956
That's about it.
900
01:09:16,055 --> 01:09:17,750
Just about.
901
01:09:18,122 --> 01:09:21,148
I forgot.
Every few months, we fight.
902
01:09:22,955 --> 01:09:26,152
- What you said is very interesting.
- Thanks.
903
01:09:26,823 --> 01:09:30,589
When you talk about
what we do, you say,
904
01:09:30,756 --> 01:09:34,783
"We meet, we see a movie
or something, we eat,
905
01:09:34,890 --> 01:09:37,381
we go to bed,
maybe we have sex."
906
01:09:37,789 --> 01:09:40,485
Say it again so I can be sure.
907
01:09:41,623 --> 01:09:44,091
- You're a pain in the ass.
- Say it again.
908
01:09:45,422 --> 01:09:48,357
We see a movie, we eat, we have sex.
909
01:09:48,656 --> 01:09:51,124
And I'll add this:
I'm sick and tired of it.
910
01:09:52,090 --> 01:09:53,955
And you're sick and tired of it.
911
01:09:54,056 --> 01:09:56,490
I've been trying to tell you
912
01:09:56,589 --> 01:09:59,422
that if you want to talk
about what we do together,
913
01:09:59,823 --> 01:10:03,452
what works and what doesn't,
you have to say more.
914
01:10:03,557 --> 01:10:05,047
More!
915
01:10:05,390 --> 01:10:07,551
Yesterday, for example.
916
01:10:07,657 --> 01:10:09,090
You shot a commercial,
917
01:10:09,956 --> 01:10:12,117
my article was rejected,
918
01:10:12,690 --> 01:10:14,954
I fought with my editor,
919
01:10:15,056 --> 01:10:17,684
we met, we saw a movie,
920
01:10:18,357 --> 01:10:21,554
we ate, we went to bed,
maybe we had sex,
921
01:10:21,724 --> 01:10:25,455
you left to edit your commercial,
and I went back to the agency.
922
01:10:25,590 --> 01:10:29,526
See the difference?
You... and me.
923
01:10:31,690 --> 01:10:34,386
You're saying the same thing I am.
924
01:10:34,991 --> 01:10:36,982
For once, I don't think so.
925
01:10:40,757 --> 01:10:44,693
When you think of us,
you think 1,2,3.
926
01:10:45,724 --> 01:10:49,216
I agree with the headings
movie, food and sex.
927
01:10:49,424 --> 01:10:51,654
But to understand
your dissatisfaction,
928
01:10:51,757 --> 01:10:57,320
you have to understand
what's outside those headings.
929
01:10:58,258 --> 01:11:00,726
Understand my dissatisfaction?
930
01:11:01,124 --> 01:11:02,716
Yes, understand.
931
01:11:04,291 --> 01:11:07,692
- So that's it?
- Yes, that's it. Nothing else.
932
01:11:09,324 --> 01:11:10,916
I should have known.
933
01:11:11,025 --> 01:11:16,156
You told me yourself that sexuality
couldn't be understood by itself.
934
01:11:16,258 --> 01:11:19,159
- Yes.
- Then do what you said.
935
01:11:20,092 --> 01:11:22,492
Since it's about you, for once.
936
01:11:23,758 --> 01:11:29,560
Your "What do we do together?"
Summons up only one picture.
937
01:11:36,359 --> 01:11:38,953
Paste this picture on your forehead.
938
01:11:42,425 --> 01:11:45,690
You have this picture in your head,
939
01:11:45,792 --> 01:11:48,955
a woman's hand on a man's penis.
940
01:11:49,492 --> 01:11:53,223
You think it satisfies you
less than three years ago.
941
01:11:53,325 --> 01:11:54,792
Is the performance over?
942
01:11:54,893 --> 01:11:56,224
Hold on!
943
01:11:56,325 --> 01:12:00,227
I have that picture in my head,
just like you!
944
01:12:00,459 --> 01:12:04,486
I know what I do with you:
Eat and have sex.
945
01:12:04,959 --> 01:12:07,860
But to imagine that pleasure
and how it's changed,
946
01:12:07,959 --> 01:12:11,986
I need a picture of him at work.
947
01:12:18,059 --> 01:12:20,220
And this picture.
948
01:12:23,293 --> 01:12:26,888
And this picture: Me at work.
949
01:12:33,859 --> 01:12:36,419
So you see it's a bit more complicated.
950
01:12:37,959 --> 01:12:42,055
So will you tell me about your work?
- There's nothing to tell.
951
01:12:42,593 --> 01:12:44,424
Then why keep doing it?
952
01:12:44,527 --> 01:12:48,395
So we can live, for one thing.
Maintain this lifestyle.
953
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:55,262
You know why I decided
to do commercials.
954
01:12:55,693 --> 01:12:58,253
You agreed with me
that it was more honest.
955
01:12:58,527 --> 01:13:02,657
It's been three years now.
Maybe it's time to take a fresh look.
956
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:06,327
This is a stupid argument.
We'll talk tonight.
957
01:13:10,693 --> 01:13:12,752
We'll talk tonight.
958
01:13:13,561 --> 01:13:15,324
Maybe you're right.
959
01:13:21,361 --> 01:13:23,625
We're getting nowhere.
960
01:13:25,194 --> 01:13:27,788
Since you won't talk
about what I want,
961
01:13:28,528 --> 01:13:32,589
let me say, first, I don't know
what I'm doing here -
962
01:13:32,794 --> 01:13:34,694
Let me talk! - And second,
963
01:13:34,794 --> 01:13:36,921
the agency wants to send me
back to the States,
964
01:13:37,028 --> 01:13:41,431
and third, you can drive me
to the airport.
965
01:13:41,628 --> 01:13:45,428
NOW
(1)
966
01:14:12,662 --> 01:14:16,564
When I think about our fight,
I think she was right.
967
01:14:17,495 --> 01:14:19,360
When I think of Susan and me,
968
01:14:19,462 --> 01:14:22,659
I think of the two days
we were held at the factory.
969
01:14:25,196 --> 01:14:29,963
I was passive,
incapable of talking to those guys.
970
01:14:30,229 --> 01:14:34,757
Anything I said completely
missed the mark.
971
01:14:48,396 --> 01:14:52,196
There were about 10 people there
doing something new,
972
01:14:52,630 --> 01:14:55,064
and who were happy to be doing it,
973
01:14:55,329 --> 01:14:58,628
and what they were doing
was the result of May '68.
974
01:15:00,530 --> 01:15:03,499
We probably saw each other
at Denfert,
975
01:15:03,596 --> 01:15:05,723
or at the Gare De Lyon,
976
01:15:05,930 --> 01:15:08,160
or in early June in Flins.
977
01:15:08,429 --> 01:15:10,397
We thought it was the end,
978
01:15:10,496 --> 01:15:13,727
but now we know it was a beginning.
979
01:16:08,064 --> 01:16:10,123
May 1972.
980
01:16:10,398 --> 01:16:12,923
It's only now, four years later,
981
01:16:13,164 --> 01:16:17,225
that I see clearly the willingness
to fight of the part of some
982
01:16:17,498 --> 01:16:20,160
and the hypocrisy of others.
983
01:16:21,398 --> 01:16:23,866
Don't go there!
984
01:16:24,565 --> 01:16:26,465
Listen to me!
985
01:16:28,198 --> 01:16:30,962
The party said not to.
986
01:16:31,931 --> 01:16:36,368
"Today's events in Flins show
987
01:16:36,598 --> 01:16:40,796
to what extent the aims
of the Gaullist police
988
01:16:41,065 --> 01:16:43,363
are the same as
the Geismar groups."
989
01:16:44,132 --> 01:16:47,624
Since May '68,
many problems have shifted.
990
01:16:47,865 --> 01:16:53,269
It's only now that I can sum up
how those changes relate to other things.
991
01:16:53,865 --> 01:16:57,858
Don't go there!
The party said not to.
992
01:16:59,665 --> 01:17:03,624
"Today's events in Flins show
993
01:17:03,899 --> 01:17:08,359
to what extent the aims
of the Gaullist police
994
01:17:08,499 --> 01:17:10,831
are the same as
the Geismar groups."
995
01:17:10,932 --> 01:17:12,559
That's what it says!
996
01:17:13,065 --> 01:17:15,090
Don't go there!
997
01:17:23,599 --> 01:17:26,432
Two against one! Let's go!
998
01:17:50,066 --> 01:17:51,829
Asshole!
999
01:17:53,567 --> 01:17:57,367
My problems started
when I stopped doing my job
1000
01:17:57,467 --> 01:17:59,958
as a progressive intellectual.
1001
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:04,296
A hasty signature for Brazil or Vietnam,
a quick visit to hunger strikers,
1002
01:18:04,534 --> 01:18:07,833
a short meeting at the union hall.
1003
01:18:08,867 --> 01:18:12,530
I left the party without realizing
that I'd borrowed from them
1004
01:18:12,901 --> 01:18:16,894
a way of understanding
my role as an intellectual.
1005
01:18:22,367 --> 01:18:24,631
My job is to make films,
1006
01:18:25,667 --> 01:18:28,659
to find new forms for new content.
1007
01:18:30,134 --> 01:18:34,503
His name is Gilles.
He was born on April 17, 1951.
1008
01:18:34,767 --> 01:18:37,702
He's a student
at the Lycée Thiers.
1009
01:18:38,201 --> 01:18:41,398
Gilles, they'll say you deserved
to die as an "agitator."
1010
01:18:42,201 --> 01:18:46,797
I who fought beside you can find
no more beautiful name to give you.
1011
01:18:48,401 --> 01:18:50,699
They'll say that all you knew
was family and school,
1012
01:18:51,001 --> 01:18:54,061
and that you learned
about the world from books.
1013
01:18:54,268 --> 01:18:56,498
I say your books thrust you into life,
1014
01:18:56,601 --> 01:18:59,695
because from them
you learned to unlearn.
1015
01:18:59,835 --> 01:19:03,669
At 4:00 on May 3,
you joined forces with life
1016
01:19:04,002 --> 01:19:06,334
and carried on your struggle
in the light of day.
1017
01:19:07,002 --> 01:19:11,336
At 4:00 today, June 10,
you joined forces with history
1018
01:19:11,434 --> 01:19:14,301
and met your death,
leaving us behind.
1019
01:19:14,401 --> 01:19:17,131
Don't cry, brother.
We'll carry on!
1020
01:19:17,402 --> 01:19:20,303
CLASS STRUGGLE
1021
01:19:43,502 --> 01:19:44,969

Nanterre.
1027

Ferodo.
1028
01:19:58,469 --> 01:20:00,164
Valentine.
1029
01:20:00,769 --> 01:20:02,498
Nantes-Batignolles.
1030
01:20:02,769 --> 01:20:04,464
Palais des Sports.

01:20:16,270 --> 01:20:17,737
Prison De Toul.
1037
01:20:18,503 --> 01:20:20,198
Renault-Billancourt.
1038
01:20:51,970 --> 01:20:56,771
NOW
(2)
1039
01:20:57,204 --> 01:20:59,536
I knew I probably shouldn't say no.
1040
01:21:00,237 --> 01:21:02,865
But I didn't know it would be you.
1041
01:21:05,604 --> 01:21:07,629
Now I know, and I say no.
1042
01:21:10,004 --> 01:21:13,940
It's one right decision
among the many possible.
1043
01:21:15,838 --> 01:21:18,329
Anyway, I want to work,
1044
01:21:19,371 --> 01:21:22,602
and going to Lille with you
today isn't working.
1045
01:21:25,137 --> 01:21:27,605
Yeah, we're traveling
at different speeds.
1046
01:21:28,171 --> 01:21:31,106
At the moment, you can't help me,
and I can't help you.
1047
01:21:33,038 --> 01:21:35,905
Right. We're each on our own.
1048
01:21:38,138 --> 01:21:40,163
It's no big deal.
1049
01:21:40,571 --> 01:21:42,732
That's how it goes.
1050
01:21:49,971 --> 01:21:51,370
Damn it!
1051
01:21:51,639 --> 01:21:53,903
Something wrong?
1052
01:21:54,005 --> 01:21:55,836
No, everything's all right.
1053
01:22:48,339 --> 01:22:50,705
Another article
the agency will reject.
1054
01:22:51,172 --> 01:22:54,869
I'll throw it at them,
along with my resignation.
1055
01:22:55,239 --> 01:22:59,266
A little cog in the struggle.
1056
01:22:59,673 --> 01:23:02,039
All those idiots want
to hear about
1057
01:23:02,140 --> 01:23:05,075
is large sales outlets
and the changing urban landscape.
1058
01:23:05,740 --> 01:23:09,506
But if I talk about the people
who sell and buy,
1059
01:23:09,606 --> 01:23:11,471
here and now...
1060
01:23:35,607 --> 01:23:39,407
Change direction
with the French Communist Party!
1061
01:23:39,974 --> 01:23:43,375
For a democratic government
of the people!
1062
01:23:43,474 --> 01:23:46,136
4.75 francs,
marked down from 5.50!
1063
01:23:57,141 --> 01:24:01,100
"France, a country rich
in natural and human resources,
1064
01:24:01,208 --> 01:24:04,234
whose people's struggle for freedom
1065
01:24:04,507 --> 01:24:07,601
has furthered the history
of human progress."
1066
01:24:18,041 --> 01:24:19,736
A supermarket.
1067
01:24:19,841 --> 01:24:23,242
700 million francs a day in sales.
1068
01:24:24,742 --> 01:24:28,678
A large sales outlet,
and social theater at the same time.
1069
01:24:29,275 --> 01:24:32,472
Everyone's shouting...
except the audience.
1070
01:24:32,808 --> 01:24:35,800
They pay and pretend
to keep their mouths shut.
1071
01:24:35,975 --> 01:24:38,000
No one addresses them yet.
1072
01:24:57,209 --> 01:24:59,473
Outside the factory,
it's still like a factory.
1073
01:25:04,476 --> 01:25:06,740
No one talks to anyone else.
1074
01:25:08,109 --> 01:25:11,442
They're all waiting for new actors.
1075
01:26:30,378 --> 01:26:33,779
4.75 francs,
marked down from 5.50!
1076
01:26:37,144 --> 01:26:39,635
Change direction
with the French Communist Party!
1077
01:26:39,745 --> 01:26:43,772
For a democratic government
of the people!
1078
01:26:45,611 --> 01:26:47,374
Live better!
1079
01:26:47,578 --> 01:26:50,172
A democratic government
would allow
1080
01:26:50,278 --> 01:26:52,974
blue-collar and white-collar workers,
1081
01:26:53,244 --> 01:26:56,179
wage-earners or not, a better life.
1082
01:26:57,645 --> 01:27:00,341
- Can I see your book?
- Ask politely.
1083
01:27:00,511 --> 01:27:02,775
Sorry. May I look at your book?
1084
01:27:03,045 --> 01:27:06,139
Yes, we're interested
in hearing from young people.
1085
01:27:06,545 --> 01:27:09,036
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
1086
01:27:10,878 --> 01:27:14,905
Change direction
with the French Communist Party!
1087
01:27:15,412 --> 01:27:17,937
4.75 francs,
marked down from 5.50!
1088
01:27:18,379 --> 01:27:20,609
I don't understand
this part about culture.
1089
01:27:20,845 --> 01:27:25,339
"Encouraging creativity in all sectors
will stimulate the nation's progress
1090
01:27:25,445 --> 01:27:29,381
and pave the way for improved
personalities and human relations."
1091
01:27:29,579 --> 01:27:31,479
It's a bit confusing.
1092
01:27:31,579 --> 01:27:35,606
You just opened it!
You can't have analyzed it.
1093
01:27:35,879 --> 01:27:39,906
He asked you a question.
Answer it!
1094
01:27:40,013 --> 01:27:42,777
Are you a militant?
- Of course I am.
1095
01:27:44,546 --> 01:27:47,538
Did you write that?
Then explain it.
1096
01:27:47,779 --> 01:27:50,646
Come see me at my office.
1097
01:27:50,746 --> 01:27:51,770
No!
1098
01:27:51,879 --> 01:27:55,679
Instead of hawking your books
like vegetables, explain your politics.
1099
01:27:55,779 --> 01:27:57,644
Absolutely not!
1100
01:27:57,746 --> 01:28:03,082
You can't answer a simple question
about the first sentence.
1101
01:28:04,013 --> 01:28:06,982
You're all witnesses!
He's a troublemaker!
1102
01:29:10,281 --> 01:29:12,909
It's free! Help yourselves!
1103
01:29:18,781 --> 01:29:20,612
It's free!
1104
01:29:34,681 --> 01:29:37,309
It's free!
1105
01:30:20,249 --> 01:30:25,881
To change everything,
where do you start?
1106
01:30:26,849 --> 01:30:29,010
Everywhere!
1107
01:31:16,017 --> 01:31:18,918
Cops! Bosses! Murderers!
1108
01:32:04,585 --> 01:32:05,452
NOW
(2)
1109
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,020
NOW
(3)
1110
01:32:18,251 --> 01:32:21,049
All films have an ending.
1111
01:32:21,652 --> 01:32:25,816
Him or Her, looking worriedly
at the other and saying,
1112
01:32:26,119 --> 01:32:28,679
"I was afraid
you wouldn't come back. "
1113
01:32:38,618 --> 01:32:43,180
Then Her or Him looking
worriedly at the other,
1114
01:32:43,286 --> 01:32:46,619
replying, "You should have been."
1115
01:32:47,052 --> 01:32:52,752
Yes, some films make the audience think
that He and She solve one problem
1116
01:32:53,119 --> 01:32:56,919
only to go on to the next,
and that that's how life is.
1117
01:32:58,219 --> 01:33:01,620
But in this film,
we leave Him and Her
1118
01:33:01,919 --> 01:33:04,854
looking at each other wordlessly.
1119
01:33:08,653 --> 01:33:10,644
We'll just say that He and She
1120
01:33:10,920 --> 01:33:14,447
have started to think of themselves
in a historical context.
1121
01:33:23,686 --> 01:33:26,655
Each his own historian.
1122
01:33:27,220 --> 01:33:31,520
Me. France. 1972.
1123
01:33:33,619 --> 01:33:38,556
It's sunny in France
1124
01:33:41,420 --> 01:33:46,585
Nothing else matters
1125
01:33:50,854 --> 01:33:53,516
France. 1972.
1126
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:58,314
History. Me.
1127
01:34:01,854 --> 01:34:03,879
Me. You.
1128
01:34:08,121 --> 01:34:11,318
Cops! Bosses! Murderers!
1129
01:34:19,554 --> 01:34:21,715
Me. You.
1130
01:34:22,488 --> 01:34:25,855
You don't have to be
a leftist to think like that.
1131
01:34:26,488 --> 01:34:29,184
France. 1972.
1132
01:34:29,588 --> 01:34:32,614
Sometimes what's needed
is a good kick in the ass.
1133
01:34:33,854 --> 01:34:36,482
The CGT says...
1134
01:34:37,221 --> 01:34:42,955
Let's all live life to the fullest
1135
01:34:44,221 --> 01:34:48,385
It's sunny in France
1136
01:34:50,521 --> 01:34:55,754
Nothing else matters
1137
01:35:00,655 --> 01:35:03,317
Each his own historian.
1138
01:35:03,555 --> 01:35:06,854
We'd be more careful
about the way we live.
1139
01:35:07,888 --> 01:35:13,155
Me, you, him, her, us, all of you.
1140
01:35:13,255 --> 01:35:14,256
FIN
1141
01:35:14,255 --> 01:35:15,256
FINISH
1142
01:35:15,255 --> 01:35:17,155
FINISHED
1143
01:35:18,289 --> 01:35:26,196
THIS HAS BEEN AN ACCOUNT
FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KEEP THEM.
