    Have you even seen this film?

    La Commune
    (La Commune (Paris, 1871))
    2000 NR 345 minutes

    http://www.netflix.com/Movie/La_Commune/70055285?strackid=2a64b8044b224794_1_srl&strkid=1675322331_1_0&trkid=222336

    "Director Peter Watkins tells the story of the historic Paris Commune of 1871, whose members formed a spontaneous revolutionary government to challenge the established order during the Franco-Prussian War. The docudrama re-creates the events, inserting dueling modern-day camera crews to tell both sides of this important moment in history, one following the revolutionary movement, the other bowing to the official party version."
