Alone. Life Wastes <PERSON>
Many moments of nightmarish beauty, although it can be quite frustrating to watch at first. Imagine if <PERSON> dropped acid and discovered Final Cut Pro. Actions that should take mere seconds in real time (like someone opening a door or planting a kiss) get maddeningly drawn out into extended sequences that taunt and tease the viewer. 5
Eventually, the original expected action is forgotten and new layers of meaning emerge from the rhythmic movements and expressions. Just let the waves of relentless repetition wash over you.
Austrian filmmaker <PERSON> creates his surreal works out of old celluloid film footage which he radically reconstructs with a digital video editor. The shots are sliced up and alternately slowed down, stuttered, reversed, or looped into haunting, hypnotic stretches of visual contemplation. The footage used is from two of <PERSON> films (Babes in Arms from 1939 and Andy Hardy Meets Debutante, 1940), both of which co-starred <PERSON>.
