The first Dutch sound film and another avant-garde masterpiece. Philips
Radio is an ode to technological progress as well as a critique
of monotonous labor. Ever-repeating actions at stamping machines and
on an assembly-line, and continuous light bulb-blowing illustrate
the dullness of the physically demanding work. Although it was a company-sponsored
film, several Philips branches refused to show the film because of
its social content.
