Violent in its purpose which is to denounce injustice, misery, war, in short, bad living. Poetic in its images - even the most brutal - put at the service of performers-composers and texts. Here neither speeches nor comments underline or interrupt the subject of the song. The things said in "The Rebellious Song" are of paramount importance and this prophetic verse by Paul Eluard sums it up admirably: "If the echo of their voice weakens, we will perish". At the antipodes of fashions of the day and marketable hits, the songs that make up "The Rebellious Song" are eternal and imperishable; they concern each one of us. "Is this how men live" could be the theme of "The rebel song" which, through the texts of Jean-Roger Caussimon, Serge-Utgé Royo, Claude Semal, Gérard Berliner, Renaud, Jacques Prévert, Aragon- Ferré, Jacques Brel, Jacques Lefebvre, Christiane Stefanski, tell us about ourselves and denounce our demons. Finally, this song is rebellious because in rebellion against any form of power which arrogates itself by force of money, weapons, racial and social prejudices, religiosity, abuse of power, the right to deceive people. This is why this film is dedicated to all the executioners of bodies, hearts and souls. Written by Cinergie See less
