The Madwoman of Chaillot
1969, English. Directed by Bryan Forbes.
With the world getting ready to blow itself up, look who's minding the store.
An eccentric Parisian woman's optimistic perception of life begins to sound more rational than the traditional beliefs of others. The story is set in a 20th-century society endangered by power and greed and imagines the rebellion of the "little people" against corrupt and soulless authority.
