Too Early/Too Late is a documentary film directed by Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet. The film explores the social and political landscape of France in the 1980s, focusing on the struggles of the working class and the impact of industrialization on rural communities.

Through interviews with farmers, factory workers, and intellectuals, the film examines the tensions between tradition and modernity, capitalism and socialism.
Too Early/Too Late is a thought-provoking and visually stunning film that challenges viewers to reflect on the past and present of France, and to consider the implications of rapid social change. It is a powerful meditation on history, politics, and the human experience.
