  Absolutely incredible that Isabelle Huppert went full fascist mode at Cannes in order to give the Palme to... a film on the origin of fascism

  America as Seen by a Frenchman 1960

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Jan 2021 2

  Viewed six decades later, this insolite travelogue serves as both an elegiac ode to a vanished era and a scarily prescient prophecy of its immediate successor. Reichenbach captured the prison industrial complex, consumerism gone amok, and the explosive rise of class division as they were on the cusp of taking over the entire world. He understood America better than he let on.

  Watch two of Reichenbach's earlier shorts on the Cinémathèque française's free streaming platform, Henri.
