Movie ReviewsBeautiful world perspectives Sarah L. Hicks | Albuquerque, NM | 02/10/2010 (5 out of 5 stars) "A collection of comical, bizarre, and heart wrenching shorts. The skill of the artists involved is phenomenal. You will think about the content of these emotional clips long after you've watched them." Provocative, dark & disturbingly funny......... Luna Scout | 01/13/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Overall, I really liked this selection of shorts and found it to be an engaging, provocative mix - and there were cowboys, randy cowboys! La Perra was hilarious and absurd; Antichrist a grueling, dark picture of war; Old Woman's Step (along w/ LP one of my favorites)I found to be quite touching in it's richness, beauty, sadness and simplicity. I didn't particularly get(or really dig)We Decided Not to Die, but other viewing friends/critics were really into it." Unique selection! Isabel Reeves | Berlin | 10/26/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The first short "La Perra" is a funny, quirky film
with an absurdist tendency, great cast, and recommended for all who are looking for less obvious methods to spice up their love life. The black & white animation "Ring of Fire" about two wild west buddies in a pretty lively lanscape (e.g. female body parts performing french can-can) gives wavy, flowing hair a whole new meaning! Besides music and dance, liquor, camp fire and shoot-outs, there's an impressive lady in black - and look for her mechanical piano player!Great soundtrack & -design. The norwegian film (United We Stand) shows us what "all for one" entails. Brilliant how beautiful landscape shots, songs of solidarity, very black humor, and a touching illustration of aforementioned proverb all work together to create a memorable (only seemingly simple) film. The australian film "We Have Decided Not to Die" shows us three episodes or 'rituals'. Absolutely stunning in both content and style, mysterious, very beautifully shot and edited (intriguing use of effects), stylized (great colors, use of symmetry, perfect cinematography.) All three rituals involve artful convulsions, and take place in environments devoid of other humans. "Birth" takes place, very aesthetically, in a pool, underwater. In "Between" we are shown something like 'man against machine'. And in "Rebirth" we follow a young man into an office tower, up the elevator, and choosing a daredevil way out again. Truly fascinating film. The other shorts share the ability to touch, and stir associations one can't necessarily pin down, which is part of the appeal. Great experience." |
