Note: Snapshot of an out of tune generation. The cradle ? Art (Frédéric pardo's paintings, Nico's poetry, the Langlois Musée). Crystal ? Cold (Anita Pallenberg's powder, silence preceding suicide). Every life is a demoliton process. Le Berceau de Cristal was filmed in the Musée du Cinéma with Henry Langois' permission.
