L'Ère industrielle : Métamorphoses du paysage

An essay-style educational film attempts to stimulate personal reflections on the relationship between man and the landscape. We follow the search for beauty in the landscape, mired in chaos, where beauty is deliberately suppressed. At the same time, Rohmer offers new viewpoints, such as the opinion that ugliness is the legacy of the 19th century, when hygiene promoted new categories of beauty.
