Society of the Spectacle, on YouTube

One of my favourite books, Society of the Spectacle, was made into a "movie" by it's author Guy Debord. Debord was part of an artistic collective called The Situationist International and they influenced folks as diverse as Abbie Hoffmann and Malcolm McLaren, manager of the New York Dolls and Sex Pistols.

I had given up hope of ever seeing the movie version of Society of Spectacle, assuming that the film was ultimately lost and forgotten, but here it is, on YouTube. You can check out the opening parts below:
