GOOD TIMES, WONDERFUL TIMES is director Lionel Rogosin’s urgent plea for humanity and his searing condemnation of war and fascism. For two years, Rogosin traveled to twelve countries to collect footage of war atrocities from their archives. To lend the film a caustic bite, he interspersed these harrowing images with scenes of a London cocktail party’s mundane chatter—daring viewers to continue to treat such horrors as abstract. Released in 1964 at the height of the Vietnam War, this powerful call for peace stands as one of the great antiwar films of the era.
