"Le Révélateur" is one of the first films by Philippe Garrel, a French director from the environment of the Nouvelle Vague. It was shot shortly after May 1968 and was made out of the hangover of these events but can be enjoyed intuitively without knowledge of the context. And it is a silent film in black and white. A couple and their child flee a formless and unspeakable threat. A film without laughter or whispers. In a landscape of desolation, humidity and humiliation, one sees the weakest being rebel: the child. Or in the words of the director himself, "I made this small, dreamlike, nomadic film about the family probably because, since the revolution was in the bucket, there was no point talking about politics anymore."
