Cell phone. Les méfaits du téléphone portable, vus par Tod Williams et Beth Dewey
Cell phone. The misdeeds of the mobile phone, seen by Tod Williams and Beth Dewey

Summary/Abstract: Tod Williams, in his film Cell phone (2016), inspired by a novel of Stephen King, offers us a very violent critic of the use of cell phones. This use of cell phones is one of the topics of another film, issued the same year 2016 and directed by Beth Dewey. With her great poetical intuition, Beth Dewey sidesteps the materiality of the phone, which seems vaguely incarnated in the body and mind of a poor lost girl whose name, “Eden”, has biblical connotations. A very brief evocation of the film Cell phone can be read as an introduction to a deeper commentary of Beth Dewey’s Erasing Eden.
