Culture Documentary with no narration published by Janus Films in 1968 - French language
Information
------------------------------
As political and social tumult rocked France in May and June of 1968, Jean Eustache used his first documentary to focus on persistent tradition, in the form of a centuries-old ceremony in his hometown of Pessac. Each year, Pessac's civic leaders choose a young woman they consider an exemplar of moral virtue, with a daylong celebration commemorating the changing of the guard from the previous year's "virgin" to the present one. Eustache observes the exacting selection process, the fostering of communal bonds, and a bold implication by Pessac's presiding priest that the ritual upholds the same Christian values for which leftist students and workers were then currently fighting.
