Chant du Styrene (1958, Alain Resnais)
Weird little tour of a plastics factory. Starts with colorful flowers.
Moves backwards through the manufacturing process…
Ending with the explosive chemical processes that produce plastic in the first place.
I guess it’s “quirky”. Guy who wrote the commentary was a novelist… wrote “Zazie in the Underground”, made into a movie by Louis Malle.
