Doubleplusungood
Director's note : "My encounter with Wild Dee, the main actor in Doubleplusungood, was a determining factor in the making of this film.

Le Labyrinthe Des Onix

On the second disc you'll find different tasty style-exercises that show to what extend Roubaix manipulated the modulators with ingenuity.
