The concept and motivation of this film was to >> adapt a bourgeois film into a radical critique of cultural hegemony and >> thus into tools of subversive revolutionaries ideals. >> >> The Narrative is based upon a conflict between the proletarian and >> bureaucrats within state capitalism. The proletarians enlist their >> dialectics and radical subjectivity to fight their oppressors whilst the >> bureaucrats defend themselves using a combination of bribery and >> violence. The film is noted for its humorous approach to this serious >> subject matter. >> >> The film also contains many references to revolutionaries who thought >> and fought for the realisation of a post-capitalist world, including >> Marx, Bakunin, and Wilhelm Reich. Also Subplots dealing with issues of >> gender equality, alienation, trade unionism, May 1968, and the >> Situationist themselves are riddled throughout the film." >> >> Be patient, the film really starts after a few minutes... >> >> What is interesting regarding Situationist film-making is the >> appropriation of film and other materials created by others, which have >> been remixed to get their own ideas across.
