All Stakes Are Down, No More Bets
197115 min 50 secFilm: Experimental
Direction: Raymond Brousseau
Production: Marc Beaudet
A view of contemporary life as attrition, where man and all his works appear impelled toward destruction. Cars race to a jarring end in the wrecker's yard and the melting pot; buildings are no sooner up than demolition crews batter them down. Even man is seen here as a creation programmed for return to the dust. This film is a bleak lesson that time is running out: win or lose, there is no second chance.
