Extract from "Too Early, Too Late" (Daniele Huillet & Jean-Marie Straub, 1981).mov

In 1981, Daniele Huillet & Jean-Marie Straub made a film about the idea of "a revolution", shot in both France and Egypt. The film ends by this "edited" speech by Mohamed Naguib. (The original longer speech is historically much more specific. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QplcErGy4zw)

"you need to behave as a filmmaker and not a paratrooper. Filmmakers nowadays are paratroopers; they fall from the sky, and show something that they did not have time to see." (Jean-Marie Straub)
