FAQ
The fact that the movie includes the depiction of media technology inexistent during the period of the Commune marginalizes it's value as a docudrama hoping to recreate accurately these events of 19nth century French historymore

...the most effective film I have ever seen for prompting the viewer to become involved in the film itself. The "actors" are not actors and they talk about real things; they are not even improvising. They address concerns both of today and of the time in which they are play-acting (1871). With anachronisms such as the bourgeois versus the Commune ongoing television coverage, the film suggest that not much has changed. Like watching CNN for a breaking news story, La Commune gives the viewer a real-time feel and a sense of the complexity of each moment (though I suppose CNN doesn't really do that). The interspersed white-on-black historical text grounds the emotion in historical fact without undermining the emotional accessibility. A thrilling experience.
