Destroying Rejuvenates

2021-12-02 · Runtime unavailable · Not rated

Documentary

The winter of 1960-1961 witnessed the longest general strike Belgium had seen since the Second World War: up to two months of total paralysis of the country in protest against an austerity law. Across countless archives, a multitude of individuals from all walks of life recount the initiatives they led at the time. But, surprisingly, instead of gray-haired veteran strikers, it is young people who tell us about these bursts of struggle, as if they were there, as if they had been.

Report1967Documentary

Bruce Conner’s most celebrated film for a reason: it takes historical moments that were replayed over and over on television—chilling repetition of Kennedy assassination coverage—and repurposes them into a meditation on how the media tries to exert authority and apply a sense of order to the anarchic. And though it may sound perverse to say so, the film is also—not incidentally—a thrill to watch. -- The A.V. Club
