The Spectacle of the Spectacle, a.k.a. "The Lens"
I have some viewing suggestions to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the student uprisings in Paris. Firstly, I submit "The Society of the Spectacle", the classic by Guy Debord. I should warn you that some might consider parts of it a bit off color for its time (1973). Secondly, would-be Lyndon LaRouche fans will do well to check out "Zeitgeist, The Movie", if they haven't already. And those of you upstate, or perhaps just out in the country, would undoubtedly prefer something a bit less flashy, and slightly more demonic, hence "A Chat with Glendora".

Sorry about that first one, my mistake.
Can you find a full length version of this one online?

which one? The Guy Debord piece is the full length version just divided into two parts. I don't know of one that's not divided. I imagine he would want it that way.
The one at the link in my comment.
Oh, sorry. No, I looked a bit and seems the japanese like it but I haven't found any full length versions either.
