“Those were the good times. When contemporary France overwhelms us, all you have to do to get better is to revisit that of the 1970s, punctuated by the films of Sautet, the songs of Dalida, Nino Ferrer, Alain Bashung. Under the sign – very masculine – of Pompidou, Giscard, Mitterrand, Barre, Rocard, Sartre and Mao, they were at once carefree, bourgeois and revolutionary.” Franz-Olivier Giesbert,
Intimate History of the Republic, The good times
“We are going to look behind us and dive into the Pompidolian, Giscardian but also leftist years. We are going to start with this title, The good times and ask our two guests if they have nostalgia for the 70s? ” Alain Finkielkraut
