The Vertical Smile
1973 · 1 hr 40 mins
A kaleidoscope of images from history populate this skillfully animated French feature. The story concerns a history professor whose ideas about human history cause him distress. Amid a flurry of newsreel-type images, Joan of Arc's trial is shown. Another theme which emerges is of two ages (in the far past and far future) in which naked humans fight one another with animalistic aggression.
Director: Robert Lapoujade
Cast: Françoise Brion, François Perrot, Henri Serre, Olivier Hussenot, Jean-Pierre Mocky
