Painful experimental film
Had to watch this in a Canadian film studies class as the filmmaker responsible for it was on the faculty (and a most unpleasant fellow I might add). It is a series of disconnected sequences that seeks to disorient the viewer and offend them in different ways.
In one shot a camera is placed on the handle of a shovel and we get a close up of snow being shoveled. In another manure is being shoveled(literally and figuratively). In another scene we see a ferris wheel and the camera moves in sync with the wheel (probably the only shot in the film that was interesting for a few seconds).
In another scene a naked woman is sitting on a park bench and the camera records her while upside down. In another shot we see a sequence from King Kong on a TV screen while someone is doing bar bell curls and another person is replaying the Kong scene over and over. The camera is doing 360 spins as we watch. Possibly the most nauseating scene in the film.
There is also a scene where the sound from Bambi's birth in the Disney film is heard but a taxidermy display is shown.
This film is around 2 hours. 5 minutes would have been tolerable--but after a half hour becomes obnoxious, much like the man who made it.
