XV Festival Internacional de Cine Documental
Synopsis
A mixture of abstract images, as though straight out of a Man Ray painting, a large mouth in the foreground with red lips slowly devours a raw liver and then proceeds to eat a postcard. Meanwhile romantic Neapolitan songs are heard in the background. As Andrea Giunta says: They function simultaneously as a hyperbole of the feminine in a register steeped in pop aesthetics (perfect lips wearing lipstick), but in which the meat introduces a highly transgressive element with eschatological tension.
Biografía del director
Narcisa Hirsch
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
