For nearly six hours, "La Commune " stands out for its universal aspect, mixing times, struggles and identities of the actors.
Indeed, thanks to a clever and innovative editing, Peter Watkins adds another dimension to the current History of the Commune , gives voice to the men at the same time as the actors, rear wisely played speeches and personal grumble. Thus, throughout this ageless journey, the viewer becomes a potential player, a partner or companion. Without feeling any discontinuity, it hovers between fiction and reality is that if the Commune was ahead of his time on the ideas it conveyed. Or perhaps is it a difference that does not evolve too slowly ?
One of the highlights of "The municipality " lies in the use of non-professional actors who have a speech more than they play. Man / actor here is the support of oppression, a machine worn by a completely illogical. These actors, they are black, white and beur, the three colors of the Communards but also our society today.
Over the film, the speeches of men look more and more appearances and speeches Commune becomes a news item, a fight to the finish, the greatest advance in terms of human social organization and egalitarian (prohibition of night work for bakers, status Women equal to that of man, creation of cooperatives for each trade, direct democracy, mutual inter ...).
Finally, "The Commune " is a severe critic of the media: The media in the service of power (the opposition media) voyeuristic media (filming the Revolution because it is a spectacular nature) or the media "subversive" (which annihilate any construction using a vocabulary Raw and violent but meaningless).
" La Commune" is a must see. No need to be communist, anarchist or capitalist to be able to detect incredibly rich in terms of human feelings, knowledge and openness. The Commune of 1871 went beyond any known freedom. Although very short, she was already thinking about life outside of work, to "be somebody" rather that "doing something". She wanted to create an individual identity and unprofessional, adjust the desired time to build by reducing working hours, short opposite the society more and more materialistic in which we live.
The Municipality should be taught in schools so that there is awareness "the youngest age at self-construction, regardless of any professional viewpoint.
