Critique de la séparation

1961
Short Film
20m
Debord's eighteen-minute Critique of Separation directs its experimental attentions to "the documentary." Debord draws from a catalogue of newsreel footage and book covers, rephotographed photographs, views of Paris and its neighborhoods, and a catalogue of disabused, seemingly offhand footage of him and his friends in the porous zone comprising the café and the street.

More worked out and more competently put together, but for some reason less compelling than Debord's previous film. Perhaps it is that as it starts to look more like a "real film", the more difficult it is to argue for the destruction of film, even if what Debord means by this is complicated (something like: the end of what he calls the "passive" arts in favour of something more genuinely collective, political and "active"). Nevertheless, there is real material for digestion here.
