Good Times, Wonderful Times (1966)

Plot

Lionel Rogosin crafts a poignant call for compassion and an indictment of war and fascism through his documentary. Over two years, he journeyed across twelve countries, gathering chilling footage of wartime horrors from various archives. These stark realities collide with the trivial conversations of a London cocktail party, creating a jarring contrast. Released in 1964 amid the escalating Vietnam War, Good Times, Wonderful Times stands out as a significant anti-war film, challenging audiences to confront the grim truths of conflict while reflecting on the superficiality of everyday life.
