Le chant du Styrène (lit. "The Song of Styrene") is a 13-minute long French documentary film from 1958. It was directed by Alain Resnais for the French industrial group Pechiney to highlight the merits of plastics.[1] The narration spoken by Pierre Dux is a poem written by Raymond Queneau, all in alexandrines, whose title is a pun on the phonetic resemblance of "styrene" to "siren".
