A post-May '68 Paris becomes a barely recognizable and deserted landscape, and a radical tabula rasa as a group of youth traverse the city. Taking its title from Georges Bataille's avant-garde, antifascist journal, Patrick Deval's ACÉPHALE is one of the finest films to come out of the underground Zanzibar film collective amidst the upheavals of the time: a hazy dream, nightmare, utopia and beyond about reinventing social order.
