ALLÉE DES SIGNES
In order to describe the metamorphoses undergone by the city of Paris, Gisèle Rapp-Meichler et Luc Meichler began from Guy Debord's texts on psychogeography to make Allée des signes, the last Situationist film-essay. Seventeen years later, they use Piotr Kowalski's texts to construct the most exhaustive and radical pamphlet ever on the topic of dehumanisation in cities, starting from a precise phenomenon: the building of entire suburbs as ugly 'concrete boxes'. Concrete slabs, ersatz meeting places, the desert of urban arrangements, the labyrinthine, painful nature of the networks linking streets and homes ... One might have hoped that Dédale would constitute only the first visual treatise in architectural criticism - but alas, there have been no others. All we have is their incomparable essay.

A l'attention du projectionniste: Le film commence sans générique. Le premier son est un long "mille" qu'il faut à tout prix laisser à son niveau, c'est-à-dire assez fort. En général, le niveau du son doit être plutôt au-dessus de la moyenne. Merci à vous - Gisèle et Luc Meichler |
