Filmmaker Marcel Ophüls ed away on May 24. To honor his legacy, LaCinetek invites you to (re)discover The Sorrow and the Pity (1969), his landmark documentary on World War II.
A shock to audiences upon release, the film shattered the comforting Gaullist myth that “everyone was a resistant,” marking a clear break with national narratives and foreshadowing a major historiographical shift. Over time, it became one of the essential works on the subject.
Available to rent for just €2 (SD) or €3 (HD) until June 10.
Presented by Riad Sattouf.
