SOCIETY OF THE SPECTACLE
Guy Debord | 1973 | France | 90 min | VHS

Brilliantly innovative and one of the most important, radical films ever made, from the most influential figure in the Situationist International movement, Guy Debord. An adaptation of his 1967 book, it is a visual critique of the domination of the all-pervading modern spectacle. Clips from Hollywood movies, tv commercials, softcore porn, and news footage are given ironic contrast with quotes from Machiavelli, Marx and Debord’s own text.
