La Société du Spectacle (Society of the Spectacle) is a black and white 1973 film by the Situationist Guy Debord based on his 1967 book of the same name. It was Debord's first feature-length film. It uses found footage and detournement in a radical Marxist critique of mass marketing and its role in the alienation of modern society.

Synopsis

Guy Debord y développe une théorie de la spectacularisation de la société qui se trouve par là-même vidée de tout contenu, où « le spectacle est une guerre de l'opium permanente pour faire accepter l'identification des biens aux marchandises et de la satisfaction à la survie augmentant selon ses propres lois » (citation du film).

Tourné sur cinq continents durant plus de deux ans, The Fourth World War fait l’inventaire des nombreux mouvements citoyens qui ont pris naissance un peu partout sur la planète, comme pour écrire une nouvelle page d’histoire composée d’actes de résistance au néo-libéralisme. Filmé simultanément aux premières lignes des conflits au Mexique, en Argentine, en Afrique du Sud, en Palestine, en Corée, en Afghanistan et en Irak, mais aussi lors des grands rassemblements de Seattle, de Gênes et de Québec, ce film engagé témoigne des luttes que mènent des hommes et des femmes contre l’oppression, l’injustice et la violence qui leur sont imposées. The Fourth World War traite de cette guerre sournoise que les États, en concomitance avec les grands groupes financiers et industriels, livrent contre les intérêts et les besoins des citoyens du monde.

Kopple initially intended to make a film about Kenzie, Miners for Democracy and the attempt to unseat Tony Boyle. When miners at the Brookside Mine in Harlan County, Kentucky went on strike in June 1972, Kopple went there to film the strike against Duke Power Company which the UMWA had helped to organize. The strike proved a more interesting subject, so Kopple switched the focus of her film.

Composing the film's main narrative thread are several long, uninterrupted shots of The Rolling Stones in a sound studio, recording and rerecording various parts to "Sympathy for the Devil." The dissolution of Stone Brian Jones is vividly portrayed, and the chaos of 1968 is made clear when a line referring to the killing of John F. Kennedy is heard changed to the plural after the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy in June.

« Dix ans après les premières émeutes, les médias européens prétendent que la cure d’austérité en Grèce a réussi et que le calme est revenu. Ce film prouve le contraire. À Thessalonique, des jeunes empêchent les ventes aux enchères de maisons saisies. En Crète, des paysans s’opposent à la construction d’un nouvel aéroport. À Athènes, un groupe mystérieux inquiète le pouvoir en multipliant les sabotages. Dans le quartier d’Exarcheia, menacé d’évacuation, le cœur de la résistance accueille les réfugiés dans l’autogestion. Un voyage en musique parmi celles et ceux qui rêvent d’amour et de révolution.

The film is a biography of anarchist Sakae Ōsugi, who was assassinated by the Japanese military in 1923. The story tells of his relationship with three women: Hori Yasuko, his wife; Noe Itō, his third lover, who was to die with him; and his jealous, second lover, Masaoka Itsuko, a militant feminist who attempts to kill him in a tea house in 1916. Parallel to the telling of Ōsugi’s life, two students (Eiko and Wada) do research on the political theories and ideas of free love that he upheld. Some of the characters from the past and from the present meet and engage the themes of the movie.

En Grèce et en Espagne, le film fait un tour d'horizon des luttes qui soufflent en Europe contre la résignation et les politiques d'austérité. Il s'agit d'un voyage en musique, d’un bout à l’autre de la Méditerranée, à la rencontre de résistances, de terres en luttes et d’utopie.
