Dedicated to Luca Comerio, an Italian pioneer of documentary film, who died completely forgotten and suffering from amnesia in 1940 at the age of 66, this film is composed of footage found in a state of chemical amnesia. The film begins stating its intentions with amazing pictures of a train making its way through the Tyrollean mountains. As it goes through a first tunnel, an initiatory passage from black to blood red, then to black and white, it inexorably takes possession of the land. talk about a track-in I prolonged by a boat breaking the ice of the Antarctic. Then, on the ice pack, a hunter shoots point blank at a polar bear. Struck , transfixed, he rises, falls, and rises again, to his full height, then dies.

They tell of aspects of the conquest of the world, minds, bodies, and masses; of collective representations and of systems of oppression. One feels the urge to see again and again this inexhaustible film which delves acros
