Film7.0BelgeselAs the title of this French documentary indicates, Ce Siecle a 50 Ans examines the 20th Century at its halfway point.

These sketches are inadequately performed, and can easily be ignored. Ce Siecle a 50 Ans both preserved and provided celluloid material for scores of future documentaries.
