Baroque Statues

Austria · 1974
16m
Director Maria Lassnig
Starring Liesbeth Eberwein
Genre Animation

In an associative montage statues of saints in rigid and rapt poses are cross cut with those of real actors until the two can no longer be told apart. Gradually the real bodies break away from the constraints of their wooden models through increasingly improvised dance. A successful act of liberation from (Catholic) convention, which the material celebrates in an acstasy of multiple exposures and psychedelic colors.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.
