... basically, it's about 40 minutes of average riot porn, overlaid with a situationist commentary in Greek, with subtitles. Occasionally punctuated by French hip hop and Anglo punk.

Nothing about class struggle then? Just riot porn? Not as if the violence was better than the college and town hall occupations or the tv and radio occupations. The riots were the start, the angry response to State murder, everything after that was what was best!

Guess I should give it a look I suppose!

Well, there is stuff about class...

... in the sense that there's a critique of work, and the unions, and a lot of anger about work, particularly at the end. But it doesn't emphasise the working class as having agency, it's all fairly situ. It's probably worth watching, it's not that long...
