What happens

Le Mystère de l'atelier de quinze est un court métrage français de André Heinrich et Alain Resnais, sorti en 1957. Il s'agit d'un documentaire sur les maladies professionnelles tourné en 1957 à l'usine Francolor de Oissel (76) sous forme d'une enquête scientifique pour découvrir l'origine d'un mal mystérieux dont est atteint un ouvrier d'un atelier de l'usine. La vision cauchemardesque et hallucinée de l'usine, ainsi qu'une construction narrative pleine de suspense font de ce court-métrage un chef d’œuvre du genre. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
