The director Isidore Isou is the
leader of the Lettrist movement and this film was the first Lettrist
film manifesto.
After a catalog of all the
author's previous works, the camera follows the
filmmaker himself around the streets, while off-screen we hear an
argument at a cine-club about conventional cinema. Then a love story
of sorts joins in.
The sound and the picture are
purposefully unrelated. The images are destroyed by bleach and
scratched, and are sometimes viewed upside down. The director also
uses discordant chanting on the soundtrack, as well as movie clips
of some celebrities like Jean Cocteau.

导演Isidore Isou是字母主义运动领导人,这部电影是字母主义的第一个宣言。
在展示完作者的作品目录后,镜头追随导演本人逛街,画外音则是某个电影俱乐部里关于传统电影的讨论。接着是一个勉强可以称为爱情的故事。
声音和画面刻意分离,胶片也被漂白和划擦,有时还上下倒置。另外导演将不和谐的喊叫加入背景声,并使用了类似Jean
Cocteau之类名人的影像片段。
