Although London undoubtly was its vulcanic center, the Sixties young generation-culture spread wider. To San Francisco, USA, for instance. And what about Italian Michelangelo Antonioni's world-famous 1966-film 'Blow Up'? Even France had in Francoise Hardy a Sixties-singer of international status.
Given this narrow-minded limitation, 'My Generation' makes a true master-documentary. Set up by a veteran-actor who surely knows what it's all about. Historical correctness, to start with. A fine selection of Sixties-celebreties, both filmed and interviewed. A nice choice of Sixties-popsongs. And, most of all, a dazzling visual spectacle that betrays Caine's lifelong experience in filming.
