Coup pour coup (Blow for Blow), 1972, Marin Karmitz
Coup pour coup is a film about a worker's strike at a textile plant in and
around Rouen, France in 1971. The strike is organized and led by women and
the film is written and enacted by the actual striking workers. This film
was a collaborative and collective effort. Videotapes of upcoming scenes
are discussed by the workers, and camera angles as well as dramatic
refinements were agreed on before any film was edited. Coup pour coup is an
appeal for rights and labor and against industrial injustice and
exploitation.
