How I watched it with English subtitles
1. Download the mp4 file at this internet archive upload.
2. Download the zip file of the subtitles and extract at this website.
3. Once extracted, the subtitles will be separated into two srt files. To combine them, i used chatgpt.
4. Put the mp4 file + srt file into the same folder, ensuring they have the same name. e.g. LaCommune-Paris1871-2000.(mp4/srt)
5. Open VLC Media player and go to Media->Open File->mp4 file
6. Lastly, once opened, go to Subtitles->Add Subtitle Track->srt file

Je pensais que j'allais regarder un simple documentaire mais eft pas du tout mdrrrrr. Le sujet est trop trop intéressant évidemment, mais comment watkins a décidé de le mettre en scène c'est vraiment exceptionnel. Genre t'as vraiment l'impression d'y être et vu que le film dur quasi 6h, t'as VRAIMENT l'impression d'y être, la longueur est grave justifié et ça renforce grave le propos etc nn vrmt exceptionnel

Truly something so impressive! Will probably never watch again but will always stay with me and be able to talk about. To make something so authentic and collaborative and meta is inspired. 

The form and structure of this is a documentary and reenactment style film on the French Revolution. It is mostly live news interviews or capturing “live footage” in the revolution. It blurs the line between reenactment and reality by moments of actors speaking from personal experiences or talking about life in France in 1999. 

The actors did their own research and studied together and made their characters based on their findings and personal beliefs! You feel this sense of chaos and scale with the film both because of the amount of people, the length and the topic itself being a huge historical moment. 

It is so critical of the media and capitalist society and social class in so many different ways. Peter Watkins the director, makes this French film/tv series for a french production company IN 13 DAYS. They don’t like it and how long it is and basically don’t release it or decide to play it at weird times. Essentially burying the film. 

Yes the runtime is long and I wouldn’t recommend this for people to watch unless they had a stomach or passion for it. (Watched over 3 days…)
