Urgent ou à quoi bon exécuter des projets puisque le projet est en lui-même une jouissance suffisante (1977)
• August 1st, 1977 • 1h 42min
Documentary
Overview
Gérard Courant applies the Lettrist editing techniques of Isidore Isou to footage of late 70's pop culture. Courant posits that his cinema offers an aggressive détournement to the French mainstream, reifying a Duchampian view of film: "I believe in impossible movies and works without meaning... I believe in the anti-movie. I believe in the non-movie. I believe in Urgent... My first full length movie that is so anti-everything that I sometimes wonder if it really does exist!"
