With short film Comely Face
There are good movies. There are bad movies. And then there’s Black Magic Rites. Half-forgotten schlock in the career of the cultic heathen Renato Polselli, the fearless tempter of Italy’s censorship laws. His baroque-style smut violates – apart from the luscious actors – all cinematic practices, narrative rules and genre norms. Compared to this hallucinatory ride, Enter the Void, The Devils or Eliška Likes it Wild are mere drab blots in the colors of grey. Polselli’s masterpiece brutally rapes your perceptions and reincarnates you into unsuspected realms of spectatorship. It is impossible not to succumb to this rollercoaster erotic horror, a kind of sick LSD paraphrase of Wuthering Farts. Believe: this flick is simply beyond belief!
Comely Face
Soňa Jelínková / CZ 2012 / 10 min. / HD / czech version / english subtitles
Comely Face is a dystopian vision of the world, set at a time that is not further identified. The story takes place in a city ruled by machines and computers that control all of human time. Outside of work and factories, there exists a world of heightened perception in which the magical is naturally intertwined with the real. The film is presented as a series of iconic images based primarily on an interpretation of the human psyche.
