Originally commissioned as a report to guide the post-WWII rehabilitation of France, it argues that fundamental duties to humanity must take precedence over individual rights.

    100% agreed on how AWESOME this movie is. Not a lot of movie has titles that speak for itself. It was furious in all senses (unlike Fast and Furious where it is more physical adrenaline than emotion sometimes). But why does the poster have colour?
