Born in 1951, Romain Goupil is a left-leaning filmmaker who embodies the essence of the 1968 May Revolution. Since his debut in 1982 with the feature film "Mourir à 30 ans," he has consistently stayed true to his ideals, a remarkable achievement considering the numerous fellow revolutionaries who have compromised their values in pursuit of wealth and power.
Throughout his career, Goupil has produced a diverse range of films, including documentaries and fiction works, which, with a few exceptions, have not garnered widespread popular appeal. Nevertheless, his body of work will serve as a poignant reflection of an entire generation, a testament to his unwavering commitment to his artistic vision and his role as a chronicler of the era.
From his early days as a revolutionary to his latest cinematic endeavors, such as "Les mains en l'air" (2010),Goupil has remained steadfast in his dedication to his ideals, making him the most eloquent representative of the 1968 spirit.
