Synopsis:

From 1972 until 1974, Joris Ivens and Marceline Loridan, along with a Chinese film crew, documented the last days of the Cultural Revolution, marking the end of an era. The vast amount of footage they shot was edited into twelve films of varying lengths. Focusing on ordinary people spread over a wide geographic area-many of whom were living and working in collectives-the filmmakers recorded a unique moment in history, and also captured some of the more enduring aspects of Chinese culture.

This gigantic fresco - twelve films - was an international film success in 1976. A unique adventure in the heart of China's Cultural Revolution. For the first time, the West discovered Mao's China. Foolish Old Man shows modesty and realism with the soul of this country. This is China as the Chinese were living at the end of the Cultural Revolution. This monumental work is an invaluable document in which we see the seeds of today's China.
