Romain Goupil

Politically committed to the left Romain Goupil born in 1951 is the most eloquent representative of the spirit of the revolution of May 1968 From his first feature in 1982 Mourir à 30 ans 1982 to his latest to date Les mains en l air 2010 he has managed to remain faithful to his ideals quite a feat if you think of all of his fellow revolutionaries who have changed sides lured by money andor power His films whether documentaries or fiction have failed with one or two exceptions to draw large audience but they will remain a mirror of a whole generation
