A realistic fiction. Characters: Laure Trouchet, Pierre Merejkowsky. They play their own roles. He, she. They talk about the community life. In one sequence shot they blame each other about politic and emotional failures.   Film shot in the years 1977, roughly, in Brugairolles in the Aude As a son of the bourgeoisie, like others, I had given up studying at the faculty to go and meet the people. An evening brought together in the house bought by D1 Désertrice social workers from Aude, delinquents entrusted by a worker priest, wine growers, sympathizers of the grassroots self-managed community movement This space of disinterested collective confrontation was denied by D1 who affirmed that the winegrowers, self-managed sympathizers had come to fuck the delinquents The leftist household scene was shot in sequence. In order to preserve the sacred word of the people (which must not be reassembled, remixed. I am not the people, because the people are outside the territory without supervision, they are. The film operator wanted to flip the sequence shot He became a well-known producer linked to TV channels The sound operator did not come to the shooting meeting I don't know what happened to him. The actress was not an actress but the friend of the companion of the D1 woman whom I had met in the Anti-Nuclear Committee in Paris. I returned to Paris I haven't shown this movie for ten years Nor shot any other films for almost ten years Then I sent a leftist housekeeping scene to the open-air Grenoble festival. I refused to fill out the registration form, claiming that shooting a movie is not a bureaucratic act. The president of the Grenoble festival has selected my film He greeted me as I got off the train saying he was not a bureaucrat A director criticized my film by calling me an outdated Godard One viewer said leftists have nothing in common with the protagonists in my film The director of the Grenoble festival, according to my only and own interpretation, was in the 2000s outvoted in the association that he had locked down by the usual practices and was replaced by a communicator who wanted to open the festival of Grenoble to the greatest number Household scene among the leftists was then broadcast by Circuit Court, Claude Bossion Then was programmed by the Young Cinema Collective Then circulated in many associative places In Laboule in Ardèche with former members of the former Paris Antinuclear Committee At my house too Years later Arte broadcast Scène de household chez les gaucheistes as an illustration of my portrait. I wanted to pay copyright to the actress, not the actress SCAM told me that it does not register collective films, because the ownership of a film cannot belong to a collective but to a legal person and its children deducting years of war. Beaubourg then broadcast a household scene among the leftists The chemistry of the film is drive The copy of the film turned all red I said a sentence out loud while showing another movie A spectator asked me to shut up I told him that experimental cinema was different from Thierry Garrel's mass I then spoke to the thugs outside and spent some time being a hero in D2's eyes. I don't know what happened to the actress non-actress A producer of the TV show housework scene asked me to change the title of my movie An internet user has uploaded a leftist household scene A second internet user brought up the household scene among the leftists I congratulated him Scène de Ménage chez les Gauchistes is an obsession with first imprisonment, a political love affair with all of my films Obsession is life drive The repetition of obsession is drive The evolution the change the progress called for by some exhibition curators jury grants cinema is in my opinion industry.
