If
you like super long documentaries then here’s another one by Marcel Ophuls (who
directed the Hotel Terminus). This one is about the various
French and Nazi associations during the German occupation of
France. It’s certainly an important testament of history and
many scholars will eat it up. I can’t say I loved it or hated it.
It’s mostly a series of interviews so this kind of talking-heads style of
documentary might not be as inviting as many documentaries made today. My
rule of thumb with this is if the subject interested you than you should
probably see it, especially to see how accommodating the Vichy Government was
right from the get go. Grade: B
