A GRIN WITHOUT A CAT is Chris Marker's epic film-essay on the worldwide
political wars of the 60's and 70's: Vietnam, Bolivia, May '68, Prague,
Chile, and the fate of the New Left.
Described by Marker as "scenes of the Third World War," the film (the
original French title is virtually untranslatable) is divided into two
parts, each weaving together two strands.
From 1967 (the year Marker argues was the real turning point) on, A GRIN
WITHOUT A CAT is a sweeping, global contemplation of a defining ten years'
political history.
