The most amazing thing about that video is that the woman can talk so long spontaneously without any prompting from the interviewer. Also a bit amazing is that it dates from 1977 while looking as though it dates from 1967.
My grandmother would have said similar things about French television in those days. I remember very well evenings of sitting in front of cultural programmes simply because there was no choice. And yes, it was good for the "peasants" because every now and then it would light a spark.

The red tv ~ I confess that for me the video might as well be from another planet, Lugg. How the world has changed!

Oh how it has indeed, Bixa. I thought that too K2 - I think the head scarf was pretty much out of vogue by 77.

A mad rush through Paris's history -- fascinating! I strongly suggest checking out Kerouac's thread on Cinecittà here: anyportinastorm.proboards.com/thread/8617/cinecitt before viewing this little film. You'll enjoy the film more if you see the thread first!

For European history geeks only. There are times when Europe was irritatingly tranquil and the map does not change as fast as you want it to. Damn those long periods of peace!

There's a long segment where watching the names of the Roman emperors is like watching popcorn pop.

I had tears as well. I have watched it about 6 times, all the way through and the detail and extensions in her arms and hands was so beautiful. I know the joy of reliving a dance/routine, I like to believe this gave her happiness.

This video is being shown over and over again on French news programmes, and I'm glad that it is. Is it showing up in other countries?

The marmots are used by TV channel France 3 to introduce commercial interruptions.

They are sort of a fat European squirrel which doesn't climb much.

We have groundhogs in our part of the US, similar to marmots but bigger and a determined garden pest. When I found out that France had moles and marmots, as well as couch grass and sour grass aka sorrel, my dream of living and gardening in France died.

[Marmots] are sort of a fat European squirrel which doesn't climb much. Oh we've got them aplenty in our nearby Cascade mountains as well. Live mostly in boulder fields above the tree line and whistle alot.
