Society of the Spectacle and Other Films by Guy Debord
2.0
Just to clarify:
This book does not contain Guy Debord's essays on the Society of the Spectacle. This is collection of the screenplays from his avaunt-garde films based on his ideas. Take his essay, remove everything but the most pontificating and grandiose statements, and intersperse each line with a running text in italics explaining an image being shown on the screen, and that interspersed with the messages written on the screen, in a different font.
Yes, it is a recipe for a headache.
Maybe it's important that someone have this document in the archives. But I can't imagine why anyone would read it. Unless the act of reading it is part of your own edgy avaunt-garde art.
