Guy Debord's landmark film is a cinematic analysis of consumer society, based on his influential book "La société du spectacle" (1967). The film uses the Situationist International's method of "détournement" to rearrange preexisting materials and critique them, creating new meaning. The result is a subversive collage of ideological images from socialist and capitalist societies, presented as artifacts of a global media spectacle.
The Society of the Spectacle
A thought-provoking critique of modern society, this movie explores how consumerism has warped our perception of reality.
