Le chant du Styrène

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Le chant du Styrène (lit. "the song of the styrene") is a 13 minutes long French documentary film from 1958 directed by Alain Resnais.

The film was an order by French industrial group Pechiney to highlight the merits of plastics. The commentary, narrated by Pierre Dux, is a poem written by Raymond Queneau, all in alexandrines, whose title is a pun from styrene's phonetic resemblance to sirens.
