Summaries

Juxtaposing horrific archival war footage from multiple nations with vapid cocktail party chatter. A 1964 Vietnam-era cinematic plea against war and fascism.

GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES was Lionel Rogosin's plea for humanity and against war and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries to collect footage of war atrocities from their archives. He interspersed these harrowing images with scenes of a London cocktail party's mundane chatter. GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES was released in 1964, at the height of the Vietnam War, and became one of the great anti-war films of the era.
