À bientôt, j'espère (literally translates as Until soon, I hope) is a 1968 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker and Mario Marret. It tells the story of a strike action at a textile factory in Besançon in March 1967. The film was shot in black and white, with photography by Pierre Lhomme.
Synopsis
Le film relate la grève dans l'usine de textiles Rhodiacéta de Besançon, en mars 1967, au travers des témoignages des ouvriers sur leurs conditions de travail et motivations. Cette grève a pris un aspect particulier de par l'assimilation du plan culturel du plan social : les revendications ne tournent plus seulement autour de l'entreprise (salaires ou sécurité de l’emploi), mais aussi sur le mode de vie que la société imposait notamment à la classe ouvrière. Les ouvriers grévistes qui occupent l'usine ont à leur disposition du matériel pour filmer les événements, grâce à Chris Marker, Jean-Luc Godard ainsi que Bruno Muel. Comme le Mai rampant italien, cette grève est une sorte d'avant-coureur de la vague de fond de mai 68.Comments

The film exhibits a series of sculptures, masks and other traditional art from Sub-Saharan Africa. The images are frequently set to music and cut to the music's pace. The narrator focuses on the emotional qualities of the objects, and discusses the perception of African sculptures from a historical and contemporary European perspective. Only occasionally does the film provide the geographical origin, time period or other contextual information about the objects. The idea of a dead statue is explained as a statue which has lost its original significance and become reduced to a museum object, similarly to a dead person who can be found in history books. Interweaved with the objects are a few scenes of Africans performing traditional music and dances, as well as the death of a disemboweled gorilla.

The film features many interviews with French communist leaders, students, and sociologists. The Prague Spring of 1968 is featured, with footage of a Fidel Castro speech in which he explains his political support for the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia while questioning the legality of the action. Other sections deal with the rise of Salvador Allende, Minamata poisoning in Japan, and the Watergate Scandal in the US. There are many subtle references to cats throughout the film, as well as brief shots of raccoons.

A man (Davos Hanich) is a prisoner in the aftermath of World War III in post-apocalyptic Paris where survivors live underground in the Palais de Chaillot galleries. Scientists research time travel, hoping to send test subjects to different time periods "to call past and future to the rescue of the present". They have difficulty finding subjects who can mentally withstand the shock of time travel. The scientists eventually settle upon the prisoner; his key to the past is a vague but obsessive memory from his pre-war childhood of a woman (Hélène Chatelain) he had seen on the observation platform ("the jetty") at Orly Airport shortly before witnessing a startling incident there. He had not understood exactly what happened but knew he had seen a man die.

Soulevant une controverse majeure, ce documentaire important a été réalisé avec la collaboration d’un groupe de cinéastes québécois pour décrire les conditions de travail difficiles dans l’industrie textile au Québec. Le film relate la vie des ouvriers dans les manufactures et leurs luttes syndicales. Il aborde trois problèmes au cœur de la lutte ouvrière : la fermeture des usines, les maladies industrielles comme la surdité ou les problèmes pulmonaires consécutifs aux conditions de travail et les grèves et actions syndicales.

En 1945, au lendemain de la guerre, le Gouvernement provisoire de la République française votait les ordonnances promulguant les champs d’application de la Sécurité sociale. Ces lois permettaient la couverture des soins nécessaires à la santé, dont une partie importante de la population ne pouvait jusqu'ici bénéficier faute de moyens financiers, avec pour conséquence de reculer d'autant toute consultation et d'entraîner de surcroît des soins plus lourds in fine. En outre, elles contribuaient à assurer à chacun un revenu dans les différents cas d’interruption de l’activité professionnelle : accident du travail, maladie, chômage et vieillesse. Le principal initiateur de cette évolution se nommait Ambroise Croizat, que beaucoup ont oublié de nos jours.

Michael Moore begins by introducing himself and his family through 8 mm archival home movies; he describes himself as the Irish American Catholic middle-class son of a General Motors employee assembling AC spark plugs. Moore chronicles how GM had previously defined his childhood in Flint, Michigan, and how the company was the primary economic and social hub of the town. He points out that Flint is the place where the Flint Sit-Down Strike occurred, resulting in the birth of the United Auto Workers. He reveals that his heroes were the Flint natives who had escaped the oppressive life in GM's factories, including "Flint's most famous native son," game show host Bob Eubanks.
