Far From Vietnam by Jean-Luc Godard, Joris Ivens, William Klein, Claude Lelouch, Alain Resnais and Agnés Varda (France, 1967/2013, 115 min.). This epic collaboration among cinema greats protests American military involvement in Vietnam and was created, per Marker’s narration, “to affirm, by the exercise of their craft, their solidarity with the Vietnamese people in struggle against aggression.” Passionately critical and self-critical, and as bold in form as it is in rhetoric, Far for Vietnam is a milestone in political documentary and in the French cinema. “An important film, a beautiful film, a moving film” ( The Guardian ).
