La Renovation! 1974

Overview

In this film we are shown the interior of the old Paris apartment where the artist's mother still lives, surrounded by the magnificent pictures by her husband Michel Loffredo, a painter of Neapolitan origin. At the same time we see a crane outside demolishing the house opposite, and the protests – which are often hand-written on the walls by the people living in the neighborhood – against property speculators and the 'renovation' which is being imposed with the violence of a mechanical digger.
