EUROPE IMAGES INTERNATIONAL - M5

Synopsis

These sketches associate 60 unobtainable objects with their reator. The filming aims to build up to the moment of discovery: what does a tea-pot for masochists look like?
The objects were chosen for their purely aesthetical nature and therefore arbitraly.

Jacques Carelman, the author of the text and of the book which led to the series, diverts every day objects from their normal use with humour; these objects being, according to him, the opposite of these "gadgets" which our consumer society is so fond of.
