L'An 2021

The documentary tells the story of an era, the genesis of a film, which finds a particular echo today. "We stop everything, we think and it's not sad", like a leitmotif, this sentence of Gébé, the creator of the cult comic strip L'An01, takes on a very particular meaning in recent years. Between the opposition to the pension reform, the claims of the yellow vests, the crisis of COVID, the questioning of the consumption model of our Western societies, the questioning of freedoms that seemed fundamental to us, and the ecological crisis, the film co-directed by Jacques Doillon takes on prophetic accents. What if Year 01, a film emblematic of the libertarian protest of the 1970s, became the symbol of today's protest?
