This week we have several clips from the KOCH LORBER FILMS new release Blame it on Fidel [view trailer].  Caught up in the political revolution sweeping France in the early 1970s, Fernando (Stefano Accorsi) and Marie (Julie Depardieu) reject the comforts of their bourgeois life and dedicate themselves full time to radical activism.  This comes as a shock to their precocious nine year-old daughter, Anna (Nina Kervel), who struggles to understand her parents' newfound ideals.  Hailed as "an instant classic" by Film Journal International, this critically-acclaimed film by Julie Gavras is supplemented by over 70 minutes of DVD bonus features.  Watch these clips from Blame it on Fidel: Group solidarity, Anna and the orange, Behind-the-scenes.  Get more info on Blame it on Fidel here.
