philippe garrel and '68

here is a clip from garrel's "regular lovers", a wonderful film he made a few years ago as a reflection on may '68 and the following months, lives and loves. somewhat a portrait of himself starring his son. garrel was very active in the may '68 uprisings and has spent a good amount of his career thus far making films dealing with it and the fallouts, lives after, etc. he was also married to nico for several years in the 70s and made some amazing films with her and her music. google him up, as well as the zanzibar group, for more info...he's one of my tops. this is a beautiful scene.
