Philippe Garrel. A more thoughtful alternative to Bertolucci’s The Dreamers, Garrel’s epic-length masterpiece re-creates the Paris student revolts of May 1968 with astonishing authenticity and an unsentimental eye. Focusing on a small group of rebellious and dissatisfied young men as they violently skirmish with authorities, the film follows their lives after the riots as they try to make sense of what happened. Far from a conventional melodrama or nostalgic reminiscence, Regular Lovers isn’t just a movie to watch—it’s an event to be experienced.
