Now 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.
Movie Recommendation
A Creator of the Imaginary: Patrick Bokanowski - Hieroglyphs1975-10-26In his film studio, Patrick BOKANOWSKI talks about his research (audiovisual and animation techniques) for his new project ("L'Ange" which will be released in 1982). Filming scenes, and excerpts from his short film "Lunch in the morning," punctuate the interview. On a film set, Patrick BOKANOWSKI describes some scenes of his project, notably "the attack of the castle of the egg"; it evokes the influence of the painter Henri DIMIER, of which he was the apprentice, his research on photographic printing, optical systems of shooting, and objectives. - He comments on a sketch of preparation explaining the image sought, and the means implemented. - Images of the shooting of scenes of characters in the darkness and light beams, accompanied by music, punctuate the interview.More...
