Humain, trop humain (1974)
Directed by Louis Malle, René Vautier

Documentary
aka: A Human Condition

Film Synopsis

In this powerful indictment of our capitalist system, the seductive glamour of the car salesroom is contrasted with the dehumanised process by which workers manufacture automobiles in a modern plant.  Beneath the shiny surface of consumerism there is something ugly, the subjugation and exploitation of human effort to service a flawed ideology, the ideology of free market capitalism.
