Hitler Never Heard of Him

Young people talk about the past, present and the future, dreams and trends, in front of Blier's camera.

"In 1963, 22-year-old Bertrand Blier invited 11 of his peers to come to a film studio and talk about their lives. The record of what was said, "Hitler? Connais pas!" is a discussion of values that remains relevant and fascinating today. The footage was shot just five years prior to May 1968, and the atmosphere of that time is clearly discernible: these young people may not yet be revolutionaries, but there is clearly a ferment in the air. One young woman describes how she dances the twist every evening; a young man relates his mother's marital infidelities; another young woman describes her own sexual escapades.
