The Shorts of Luc Moullet, Program 1
Luc Moullet: Anarchy in the Alps
August 8 - 14, 2025
This program collects an assortment of short films by Luc Moullet: his directorial debut, Overdone Steak; the early ethnographic documentary Terres noires; the quasi–performance art hijinx of Essai d’ouverture; and two critical studies in capitalism, More and More and Less and Less.
Overdone Steak / Un steak trop cuit
Luc Moullet, 1960, France, 19m
In Moullet’s directorial debut, two siblings argue about—what else—what’s for dinner.
Terres noires
Luc Moullet, 1964, France, 19m
This early documentary examines two villages, one in the Pyrenees and one in the Alps, that are more or less isolated from the world around them due to their lack of roads.
Essai d’ouverture
Luc Moullet, 1988, France, 14m
A remarkable and comic work of self-portraiture, this film follows Moullet as he struggles to open a bottle of Coca-Cola.
More and More / Toujours plus
Luc Moullet, 1994, France, 24m
Moullet examines what just may be the cathedral of high-consumerism and, by extension, capitalist society: the modern supermarket.
Less and Less / Toujours moins
Luc Moullet, 2010, France, 14m
The follow-up to More and More comically probes the sometimes convenient, sometimes baffling automation of modern life.
