Title

Surplus : la Consommation par la Terreur

Taglines

Overview

Ironique et sans concession, cet essai en forme de collage virtuose réalisé autour du « gourou de l’antimondialisation » John Zerzan, dénonce les dérives du libéralisme, la coercition médiatique et publicitaire, la course insensée au profit et le gâchis produit par la société de consommation. Ses paroles croisent ici celles de Berlusconi, Bush, Chirac, Poutine, Bill Gates et Fidel Castro, sur des images des manifestations de Gênes ou des dérives consuméristes (détritus, management, publicité…). Collage, manipulation des sons et des synchronisations, répétitions suggestives, montage incisif, musique dub et électro, slogans martelés… le film utilise les mêmes techniques que la publicité et les shows télévisés. Ironique à souhait, le documentaire interroge plus qu’il ne dénonce… Note: Le film a reçu le Silver Wolf Award, Festival international de documentaires d’Amsterdam.

Overview

Um olhar sobre o jeito de ser e de viver da humanidade, este trabalho coloca em discussão não apenas a vida em sociedade e a ordem estabelecida, como também a própria essência humana. As necessidades dos homens, as maneiras de reagir a elas e as formas de controle social acabam por comprometer todo o ecossistema terrestre, sem exceção às relações humanas.
