GUY DEBORD : COMPLETE CINEMATIC WORKS
Εκδότης Pm Press , ISBN 9798887441559
Following the still-unsolved Mafia-style assassination of the films'
financer and producer in 1984, all the films were withdrawn from
circulation for nearly twenty years. One of the films is an adaptation of
Debord's book The Society of the Spectacle. Others evoke his adventures
in the bohemian underworld of 1950s Paris, which he contrasts with the
increasingly ignorant, ugly, and alienated world that has since been
produced by modern capitalism. In each case Debord simultaneously
attacks the film medium itself, challenging spectators to create their own
adventures instead of passively consuming the pseudo-adventures that
are presented to them.
Ken Knabb's meticulous translation of all the filmscripts (which Debord's
widow Alice asked him to make to accompany the long-awaited
rerelease of the films, beginning with a complete retrospective at the
Venice Film Festival) is supplemented with numerous illustrations and
documents and elucidated by extensive annotations. For this new edition
Knabb has revised the translations, updated the filmography, and added
the scathing video that Debord made shortly before his death: Guy
Debord, His Art and His Time.
