La solitude du chanteur de fond

In 1974, Marker made La solitude du chanteur de fond, which follows Yves Montand as he prepares a benefit concert for Chilean refugees. That Montand had not performed live in many years made his participation in this concert all the more significant. The portrait of Montand is intercut with footage from films in which he starred, including Costa Gavras's Z (1969) and L'Aveu (1970), both filmed in Chile with the support of Allende. (rarefilmm.com)
