Guy Debord writes:

"The cinema, too, must be destroyed."

I really liked Debord's book "La Societe du Spectacle" (Society of Spectacle)-- there is much in there that is enormously valuable as cultural and political critique. And it is a short, short book too, which is good. But Debord, being French, can get carried away by the logic of ideas.

Destroy the Apu trilogy? Destroy "The Bycicle Thief" ? Destroy "Sundays and Cybelle" (Les Dimanches de Ville D'Avray)???? Not possible and not desirable for ANY reason.
