Overview

Rendez-vous of the Docks reconstituted the mythic docks' refusing to load arms for Indochina War in the Marseilles's port. This film captivates by his realistic force. Shot clandestinely using non-professional actors in natural locations, with the camera on his shoulder, Carpita anticipated "la Nouvelle Vague." He is considered the one of the unique French neorealist in film history, the missing link between Jean Renoir’s Toni and Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless. At the premiere of Rendez-vous of the Docks, cops interrupted the screening and brought the film back to the police station. This film is the longest censored film of the history of French cinema. For 35 years, Paul Carpita thought his film had been destroyed by censorship.
