Ici et maintenant

In that year of 1968, Serge Bard made three films in a row. They were Detruisez-vous (Destroy yourself), Fun and games for everyone and finally, Ici et maintenant (Here and now).

"Here and now consists of the dreams of the solitary rambler, post-revolution... The moralist has given up on chaos; he takes his own pulse; he listens to the world, perhaps vibrating with it; he is in sympathetic ecstasy. The filmmaker holds his position, stiff as the statue of the commander, on alert for the phenomena which approach him; he resembles the lighthouse whose rectitude Bard captures magnificently, on an ink-dark night, with its hallucinatory lamp set against a background of winds and tides." (Patrick Deval)
