What defines him: indecision, for this strange animal, half spider, half elephant, ponders \u2026: \u201cshould one be, should one not be \u2026 while being\u2026 but not too much\u2026 or vice versa \u2026 and all this while walking, walking \u2026 and always on the same side \u2026\u201d Convinced he is on the right path until he bumps into a box, the box for turning back time \u2026 \u201d so, not knowing what else to do, he multiplied a great deal \u2026 a great deal \u2026 and always on the same side \u2026 \u201d This animated film also exists in a \u201cmusical\u201d version, in which the commentary on the strange and abstract adventures of the <em>Araign\u00e9l\u00e9phant<\/em> is left to the spectators\u2019 imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In 1965, Jacques Rouvel collaborated for the first time with Piotr Kamler on the film <em>Plan\u00e8te verte<\/em>. He persists in the vein of the \u201cmoral fable\u201d, as he likes to define the <em>Shadoks<\/em>, by working with Kamler again on L\u2019<em>Araign\u00e9l\u00e9phant<\/em> (1967), for which Rouxel wrote the commentary spoken by the actor Pierre Bertin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">From the outset, the text places itself in an orbit not very far from the planet <em>Shadock<\/em>, since the film begins with these words: \u201cIt happened long ago, not even long ago but before long ago, in fact it was at a time when no one quite knew what time was.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The music is entrusted to Bernard Parmegiani and the soundtrack already sounds like a foretaste of what the sonic environment of the <em>Shadoks<\/em> would be: a polished and funny commentary, accompanied by a sort of very light furniture music, itself embellished by incongruous concrete sound effects. In this respect L\u2019<em>araign\u00e9l\u00e9phant<\/em> as well as <em>SOS Les Zlops attaquent<\/em> seem directly to constitute the close ancestors of the famous Shadocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\"  scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/fresques.ina.fr\/artsonores\/export\/player\/InaGrm00856\/wide?isAmalia=1\" width=\"620\" height=\"465\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">This information notice was co-produced with INA\/GRM for the creation of the multimedia fresco \u2013 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ina.fr\/fresques\/artsonores\/accueil\">Artsonores \u2013 L\u2019aventure \u00e9lectroacoustique<\/a>, in the category Films produced by the Service de la Recherche de l\u2019ORTF from 1950 to 1975.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Film d&rsquo;animation in\u00e9dit qui pr\u00e9figure les c\u00e9l\u00e8bres Shadoks  <\/p>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41,3,53,57,7,6],"tags":[11,27,112,28,16,24,131],"class_list":["post-1464","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-auditorium","category-featured","category-extrait-video","category-fiche-film","category-les-cloche-datlantis","category-musee-du-son","tag-cinema-danimation","tag-grm","tag-inedit","tag-musique-concrete","tag-musique-de-film","tag-service-de-la-recherche","tag-television"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1464","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1464"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1464\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2430,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1464\/revisions\/2430"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/philippelanglois.net\/lcd\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
