This is no longer just a punchline in a Woody Allen movie, it’s actually a movie I have seen. It’s 4 hours long but seems just the tip of the iceberg of the supremely complicated and concerning dynamics behind the Vichy government and its aftermath. As a non-French, I feel like I’m a student listening to a lecturer thousands of times more knowledgable than me. This documents participants without having an overbearing judgment, even on people one could reasonably label as traitors. Needs a second watch.
