To Speak Or Not To Speak (1970) " In this film, on the contrary, spoken language is in the center of a film that tells much about Servais' ambiguous position towards the notion of 'language' itself. The entire film is about the a 'F.A.Q.' - the kind of question the media shower upon us, willy-nilly, everyday ("What is your opinion on the actual political situation?"). Servais is still concerned with ethical questions: what is the role of the artist in society? Which attitude should he adopt when confronted with totalitarianism and with 'silent majorities'? At the same time it should be underlined that these 'committed' intentions do not prevent "To Speak Or Not To Speak" from being one of his funniest films Servais has ever made. " |
