Détruisez-vous

Détruisez-vous

Synopsis

"Détruisez-vous (with its implacable subtitle The Silent Gun) was shot between March and April 1968. The title 'A film shot in April 1968' is written on a piece of cardboard, with well-deserved pride: Bard was one of the few at the time to exhibit such clairvoyance. (...) Détruisez-vous is, moreover, a 'primitive' film which breaks all the rules of filmmaking. It's the first Zanzibar film (and predates the very naming of the movement), an attempt to make a film which defies the rules of production, the production line of commerce." – Philippe Azoury
