    Abstract

    In 2018, it will have been fifty years since the events that gave rise to the changes in the fields of mentality, tradition and politics. They have revolutionized the worldview of many people for the long time. In 2003, two different movies were created on the subject of the 1968 upheaval known as the cultural revolution: The Dreamers (2003, directed by Bernardo Bertolucci) and The Barbarian Invasions (2003, directed by Denys Arcand). The author of this article considers different aspects of the latter movie, focusing on the world of values, pseudo- and anti-values. She takes up the matters of ideas and ideologies, according to which the ’68 generation lived and with which it breathed, of books they read and of the movies they watched. She juxtaposes this specific humanism with the moral depravation and spiritual void of the film heroes 35 years after those events.
