Name Guy Debord's first film and give a brief resume of the 'plot'
Hmmmmm.....
It was not by chance that his first public work was a film Hurlement en faveur
de Sade (1952), in which there is no picture and the spectator - truly stupefied
by this purely surrealist provocation - watched an alternated sequence of
white and then black screens, whilst listening to a mixture of atonal dialogues
involving numerous people leading up to a silent, black screen for 24 minutes.
This was the first gauntlet against the spectacle thrown down by Guy Debord
who fought this battle throughout his life; a death sentence for the cinema,
at the time considered as the essence of the artistic product of bourgeois
society and for that reason the extreme synthesis of its values in full decomposition,
since it expressed not the construction of a situation which aimed to shed
light on everyday life but rather a system of falsification of reality in
order to suppress it and supplant it by means of a series of images aimed
at cutting the individual off from his daily existence and making of him an
illusory participant in the spectacle of consumer society in his role as good/product
of the spectacle.
