Marguerite Duras and the '68ers

Marguerite Duras and the '68ers (1968) blends Documentary elements. Top cast includes Marguerite Duras and Romain Goupil. The plot follows a central conflict that grows in scope as the film progresses.

Actor: Marguerite Duras

Here Duras assumes a more distant role, less an interviewer than an invested documentarian. Her questions precede footage of her main subject, the sixteen-year-old Romain Goupil, recently excluded from the lycée, among his peers and fellow student revolutonaries. After we see them discuss the complexities of their position and deal with internal dissent, Duras asks Romain if he ever forgets how young he is. Romain replies with a grin: “Totally.”
