Primate

There’s something about his style and the non-human subjects that didn’t totally jive. (And, yes, I realize that the researchers are just as much of the focus as the primates.) The fact that the version I watched was a horrible quality, French-subtitled version didn’t help matters. Oh well, there’s still like 50 more of his movies to go and I’m looking forward to them.

This film casts a forensic observational eye over researchers working with primates. After a time watching it is possible to wonder which ones of these two sets of primates is the more strange. It was released on December 5, 1974.
