La démocratie dans les rets du néoliberalisme
Richard Brouillette

There are texts that with time become indispensable.
One such is “La pensée unique”,
published by Ignacio Ramonet in “Le Monde
diplomatique” in January 1995. It is the basic
inspiration behind Richard Brouillette’s film.
The title of this film-saga, which is expressionist
in its musical punctuation and at the
same time Calvinist and anti-spectacular in
black and white, is programmatic:
L'ENCERCLEMENT - LA DEMOCRATIE DANS LES RETS DU NEOLIBERALISME. The filmmaker, who
spent twelve years making the film, and who
is also its producer, script writer, montage
specialist and translator, has put together a
fresco of thirteen specialists from areas relating
to capitalist and neo-liberal phenomena
and their avatars. It is an erudite performance
of articulacy and active intelligence.
Richard Brouillette’s commitment is to make
this learning accessible. The narrative is
organised into two parts and ten chapters;
the texts, which lead to particular transitions,
and Eric Morin’s powerful music punctuate
the unfolding of the montage, which has been
put together like tiles. Each intervention comments
upon and critiques the previous one
and develops what has already been set out
in terms of concepts and reflections.The filmmaker
assembles thought and fragments of
knowledge, piece by piece. Archives are integrated
at certain moments, anchoring clarified
phenomena in layers of time. These phenomena
cannot be reduced to the current
world crisis, which Richard Brouillette could
not have anticipated and which, in a magnificent
gift from reality to the film, corroborates
the validity of his approach. Rather than
allowing ENCERLEMENT to become partisan,
he intelligently leaves it to brilliant defenders
and opponents of the neo-liberal system of
values to speak, carrying spectators along
with them on an inspiring journey: that giving
oneself the means to understand traces
the possibly revolutionary path of one’s emancipation.
