1976 France 27 minutes French

The staged reading of excerpts from the S.C.U.M. Manifesto (Society for Cutting Up Men) by Valerie Solanas, published in 1967 and now out of print in French. Delphine Seyrig translates a few passages for Carole Roussopoulos, who types them out. In the background, a television set broadcasts live images from the daily news, of which we sometimes hear some apocalyptic snippets.
