Summer of Love: Art of the Psychedelic Era
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"... it is harldy surprising that [Godard] was dismissed as an imbecile by many of those from the avant-garde milieus connected to lettrism. [...] The ardour of Guy Debord and his associates on the subject of Godard stems directly from the fact that Jean-Luc was providing the bourgeoisie with a middlebrow commercialization of avant-garde cinema. Indeed, the invocation of the penal code during the discussion of prostitution in Vivre sa vie recalls Debord's similar use of material on the soundtrack of his 1953 feature length anti-classic Screams in Favour of de Sade." --Summer of Love: Psychedelic Art, Social Crisis and Counterculture in the 1960s (2005) by Christoph Grunenberg and Jonathan Harris |
