Nice of First Run\/Icarus to release it, but it would&#8217;ve been even nicer to provide a translation for the opening titles that claim the film was found in an embassy.  Maybe it&#8217;s mentioned in the packaging.  Anyway, clearer image for this not-clear-at-all film, and after watching The Battle of Chile this one is making more sense, since I know what Marker was reacting to.  It&#8217;s still never gonna be a favorite film, but it&#8217;s a cool idea to make something that immediate as a reaction to current events.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/deeperintomovies.net\/journal\/image08\/embassy01.jpg\" alt=\"image\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/deeperintomovies.net\/journal\/image08\/embassy02.jpg\" alt=\"image\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/deeperintomovies.net\/journal\/image08\/embassy03.jpg\" alt=\"image\"><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>The Sixth Side of the Pentagon, 1967<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\nFilmed during &#8220;World War III: Vietnam, Bolivia, Israel&#8221; on October 15-16, 1967, a recording of the anti-war march on the Pentagon in which Abbie Hoffman and the Yippies participated.  Marker gets to combine his budding obsession with anti-authoritarian political protest with his love for filming faces of people on the street.  One of his most famous images was in here &#8211; an angry man shouting, his head covered in blood &#8211; I always thought that was from <em>Grin Without a Cat<\/em>.
