About This Movie

So, Networks (1979) is quite an intriguing piece. It’s layered, dense with imagery, and almost feels like a collage of urban life in Paris. The way Lebrat plays with exposures is fascinating, cramming all these different perspectives into one frame. It creates this disorienting yet engaging atmosphere that pulls you in. The colors, especially when seen through those filters, add another dimension to the experience. You’re not just watching a sequence of moments; it’s like you’re diving into a fragmented story of the city itself. Not the usual narrative fare, but there’s something compelling about its experimental nature.

This film remains somewhat elusive in collector circles, primarily due to its limited release and experimental nature. Various formats have circulated, but finding a well-preserved version can be a challenge. Its distinct style and the innovative technique of using multiple exposures make it a conversation starter among collectors, even if it doesn’t fit neatly into traditional categories.
