Synopsis

The year punk music exploded, Courant gave his most avant-garde outburst by relating for the first time the shattering experiences that took place in the second half of the 20th century (such as the Lettrist and Situationist Internationals) with the rock culture that clamored that same idea of rupture. There aren’t many films with such emergence as this one, which dared to mix Lou Reed and the noisy Velvet Underground with Guy Debord’s détournement techniques, drawing a line that included the Sex Pistols but also Lettrist initiatives of tampering the celluloid, based on Isidore Isou’s style. An argument for self destructive Courant himself presents it with a prayer that was viewed as homage to Marcel Duchamp: “I believe in impossible movies and works without meaning. I believe in the crazy idea of making a movie without images. I believe in invisible cinema. I believe in a cinema without cameras, theaters, projectors, or screens. I believe in ghost movies, in fugitive cinema. I believe in the anti-movie. I believe in the non-movie. I believe in Urgent… My first full length movie that is so anti-everything that I sometimes wonder if it really does exist!”.
