Le Sang re-enacts the utopia of the Living Theater, a theatrical company founded in 1947 and boasting collective creation, the liberation of bodies (the actors played naked) and the counterculture. But happiness is dangerous and the utopia mortal: Leon drowns in the dance, believing to find freedom. (imdb)Read More »

Gambler John Merrick (Frank Lovejoy) is the head of a bookie syndicate and the newspaper is crusading against him and the rackets, primarily because Merrick is in love with Felice Stuart (Joan Weldon), daughter of the newspaper publisher who can not break up the romance through persuasion. A senate committee investigating crime gets involved, the racketeers, other than Merrick who is a “nice guy”, strike back and kill a reporter, and Merrick’s own son, Jerry Merrick (Robert Arthur), commits suicide. Merrick, to his own disadvantage, helps bring down the syndicate. Since it is in black-and-white-, deals with crime and was an American-made film, some will call it “film noir” since that seems to be the current guidelines for putting a film in that, at one time limited-and-defined genre. It ain’t, and neither are most of the others currently so classified.Read More »

Radiating from the Darwinian text-fragments outward through the material is much pictorial and spoken signifying text having to do with issues such as communication, translation, dynamics of perception, art, science, isolation and social interaction etc. In a certain sense a meaning does arise from all of this. At the same time the endless groupings and regroupings of material suggest yet another realm of meaning.

Synopsis
‘Small metamorphoses’ is the name of an old game: different body parts drawn on cardboard were assembled to form endlessly varying characters. A couple and their child. The metamorphosis acts on the characters thanks to a catalyst which is time. This couple refuses this child in order to forget the failure of their love. Changes take place in the relationships, the clothes, the gestures, as time reveals the truth. The child’s awareness is materialised by the ‘miraculous’ death of his parents.Read More »

It is quite revealing how complex the simple form is. Shot one to one, a girl is confronted with nothing more than her thoughts. In the period of watching her (while she is looking at you) her expressions and movements turn into a ‘mirror’ for the viewer to experience his or herself. The experience is solely emotive between you and her, and occurs in “real” time. (Stephen Dwoskin)Read More »

This is one of the most weird, bizarre and oscure movies from Spain. Very hard to find nowadays and a total masterpiece for the collectors of hidden spanish gems.

The plot is about a man, Salomon, living in a hermit in the forest. He scaped from a concentration nazi camp and falls in a house in the middle of the mountains where a strange family lives there.

Illness, Sex, Homosexuality, rape, violence… rated “S” in Spain in those years.

The quality is very good and this is the uncut version, 95 minutes. Only for lovers of strange movies.Read More »
