Voici la bande sonore du film en VA :
This is an internet translation of the 1952 French film Howlings in favour of Sade by Guy-Ernest Debord. Howlings was Debord’s first film, produced when he was 23 years old.
Translators note >>> This film involves several periods of silence during which the screen remains dark. In this internet version, 30 carriage returns have been inserted for each minute of silence. This will not consume the intended time for the viewer, but it will present some sense of scale.
— Gregor Markowitz (December, 1994)
