Some people might live happier ever after if they understood better why the lettrists make these types of movies instead of simply making well-made films, good old war films, tear-jerking love films, gadget-filled science fiction films, action-packed karate films or kung fti films, like Steven Spielmerd, Michael Snuf, or Jean-Luc Grolard. Cinema being like god, the lettrists (who as some anonymous sources indicate, gave it the last blow) have been pissing on its grave ever since 1951, which may explain why their films alone will be remembered by fiiture generations.
