Voices

About This Movie

So, 'Voices' is this peculiar TV movie from '72 that feels like a snapshot of a living room gathering, yet it’s far from your standard fare. The conversation is a jumble, almost like a sound collage, where you’re left piecing together snippets of dialogue amid the chaos. Schippers, known as Jacques Plafond here, throws in a modern piano interlude that completely disrupts the flow, adding an odd layer to the atmosphere. It's not about a linear narrative; it’s about the ambiance, the vibe of people just… talking, with moments where clarity slips in and out. There's something distinctly experimental about it, and if you’re into the avant-garde side of TV history, it's a fascinating watch.

This film is somewhat elusive, having had limited releases over the years, primarily surfacing in niche collections or festival showings. Its scarcity makes it a curiosity among collectors, particularly those drawn to experimental television. The odd format and unconventional approach create a unique spot in the TV landscape of the early '70s, appealing to those interested in the evolution of media and performance.
