Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir Directed by Max Cacopardo - Interviewed by Madeleine Gobeil and Claude Lanzmann In this rare documentary, available now on video and dvd for the first time, Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) and Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) intimately discuss their work, their lives, and the role of public intellectuals in modern society. They were interviewed for this 1967 French Canadian TV program by journalist Madeleine Gobeil and Les Temps Moderneseditor Claude Lanzmann (who later produced Shoah, the epic documentary on the Holocaust). Filmed in his Montparnasse apartment, Sartre discusses, among other things, his reasons for refusing the Nobel Prize in Literature, his opposition to the Vietnam War, and the seeming contradiction between such political involvements and his then-current literary project on Flaubert. Simone de Beauvoir discusses her three volumes of memoirs as well as such influential books as The Second Sex, and passionately expounds on her ongoing commitment to women's liberation. <http://frif.com/new2005/jean.html>CLICK HERE TO READ FULL DESCRIPTION Dylan M.
