At a tough inner-city school in Paris, a dedicated teacher named Mr. Marin (François Bégaudeau) begins the new term. Taking on a class comprised of a melting pot of modern-day French society, he pushes and prods his pupils while striving to gain their respect.

In this war drama blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, Watkins covers and interviews on television the working class and the bourgeoisie of 19th century, before and during a tragic workers' class revolt.
« Un ovni dans le paysage audiovisuel : une œuvre à part, belle et crispante, qui dynamite les mécanismes de création habituels. » - Les Inrockuptibles
Peter Watkins a réalisé une fiction sur la Commune comme un documentaire contemporain pour, dit-il : "Insuffler à l’histoire figée des historiens, l’énergie épique de l’immédiateté".
Pour raconter la Commune il montre une télévision aux ordres (Télévision Nationale Versailles) qui débite des informations lénifiantes, tandis qu’une télévision libre jaillie du Paris insurgé s’efforce de capter la fureur populaire.

Winner of the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film, The Counterfeiters tells the true story of Salomon Sorowitsch (Karl Markovics), a swindler who made a name for himself as Berlin's "King of the Counterfeiters." However, his life of women and easy money is cut short when he's arrested and placed in a Nazi concentration camp. With the German army on the verge of bankruptcy, Sorowitsch makes a sobering deal with his captors: in exchange for a comfortable bed, good food and fair treatment, Sorowitsch, along with the other hand-picked specialists, must counterfeit bank notes to fund the Nazi War effort. If he does as they say, he lives another day. If he rebels, he faces the same fate as the rest of the camp's prisoners. But if he lives, will he be able to live with himself?
