Cosas divertidas

Trivialidades:
The untranslatable French title is a play on words suggesting that revolution was in the air but not on the ground. The English title, "A Grin without a Cat", has a similar meaning. Director Chris Marker has given it the subtitle "Scenes from the Third World War 1967-1977". más

Marker's multicolor manifesto, 22 May 2007

It is little surprising to me to check on this film here on IMDb & find out that with merely 2 comments in total & zero attention it stands like some pale thirdrate piece of work.

This film is interesting if not important. Actually it is an extremely profound & sophisticated anthology of the 60s events conducted by one of the most unique masters of cinema. All the events are well known to us, fundamentally studied & analyzed by each of us, so Marker has to be totally frank, & he is by that matter; he never imposes his points literally, never judges nor justifies, what he does is that he constructs the sequence of the events in such manner that the facts talk for themselves & there's no place left for accusing Marker in subjectivity. By just choosing the correct array of the documented materials, Marker manages to show the true nature of the 2 different reigning social systems of that time, the failure of both on the ideological as well as on practical levels. This film is a great achievement as it represents the document with a very high historical accuracy. Just imagine the global events of that time which took place in the various countries at the same time: Vietnam, Soviet Union, USA, France, Cuba, China, Venezuela, Czech rep., Chile etc, the events so different yet so tightly connected to each other. Marker manages to put the whole late 60s + 70s in 200 minutes & creates an exact model of the world of that time.

Besides all this, I am a huge fan & collector of the mass riot shots. This film contains some of the greatest classics of the mass riots of the 20th century, which has a very different & some kind of vintage sense. They have a tendency to fill my body with puissant emotions. No aesthetics can be more powerful than that found in the chaos.

I am one of the biggest Marker fans & I must say that the creative work he has done in this film is amazing.
