Animania: Season Two - Broadcast 3
Description
Here the Czech film-artist Bretislav Pojar amusingly reflects on our habit of
looking before we leap. What he shows us is the little person inside each of
us, the cautious character we all know, who acts to keep us out of trouble but
also in a state of defeat. Is there a cure for this reluctance to face up to
life in the raw? The film shows there is. With the Pojar charm working for
you, your worst fears suddenly look plain silly.
'E', under the guise of a pretty fairy tale, makes a strong
political statement. Animated paper cut-outs enact a drama in which a dictator
imposes his delusions on his unfortunate subjects. The humour is black and,
despite an absence of dialogue, the message is clear in this one-act opéra
comique.. Film without words.
1999, 22 min 31 s
