Marseille en mars

Jean-Louis Comolli
1993 France 52 min French

March 1993, the general elections, the overwhelming rejection of the Left plays out here without the national game being clouded by the particularities of Marseilles: here, the death blow had already fallen and burial and mourning were already underway. This kind of campaign required a particular filmic dispositif, two types of mise-en-scène. The first involves the production of discourse: a physical and political walk-around alongside the players showing the attrition of political parties, the disparagement of politicians and the never-ending consequences of the demise of Communism. The second involves how the discourse is received: scenes from the campaign, where the protagonists come face to face with their electors.
