CinemaSerf7 Jul 20, 2024Now here's a curious film that sort of defies description. I'm guessing that was creator Patrick Bokanowski's intention as for ten minutes we mix animation with actuality via some almost impressionist static artwork. There's no rhyme nor reason to this - it marries together a bizarre selection of imagery with sounds. Some men bailing the hay to the accompanying sound of snooker balls, for example. Or a snowstorm deluging the table inside an house! It's very eccentricity is what makes it worth a gander - there's no obvious structure to constrict the free flow of ideas and it reminds you of just about everything from bawdy Hammer to slightly more sophisticated Disney. It's a little like walking into a gallery with no theme bar the imagination of the curator - and I did quite like it.
