You Speak of Paris: Maspero. Words Have Meaning

5.0
  • Genre: Documentary
  • Run time: 20 min
  • Premiere: 1971. June 15.

An affectionate portrait of the left-wing publisher and bookshop owner François Maspero, who was a contributor to Far From Vietnam and would later publish the commentary to Le Fond de l’air est rouge. Maspero is one of the most satisfying and likeable of Marker’s films from this period, achieving an exemplary balance of quirky human warmth with a clear and inventive form of political argument.
