Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
REFUTATION OF ALL THE JUDGMENTS, PRO OR CON, THUS FAR RENDERED ON THE FILM...
Réfutation de tous les jugements, tant élogieux qu’hostiles, qui ont été jusqu’ici portés sur le film « La Société du Spectacle »
Synopsis
Guy Debord’s answer to the criticism regarding his previous film, “The Society of the Spectacle”–a film adaptation of his Situationist manifesto, and a sharp commentary on contemporary society and the power of the image untethered from its original context.

Our take
With his distinct manipulation of audiovisual materials, Guy Debord’s short attacks the praises and the criticism thrust upon his previous feature with equal aplomb. In an age where journalism is merely another commodified product, both myopic disapproval and ignorant deference hold little value.
