La Cravate

Tuesday, July 8, 2008

I don't think this has come up before, but I was a little iffy as to whether or not I should count short films. I mean, this one was only 20 minutes. That's shorter than a TV show.

Yet here we are. I bought that Jodorowsky set way back last year, and for some reason never got around to watching this one, even though everything else in the set was great. I guess maybe it's because this is a silent film, and I subconsciously (and ignorantly, I can't always help it) thought it would be boring. Of course, it rocked. The thing I forgot about Jodorwsky is that, no matter how bizarre or seemingly inaccessible his movies are at times, his work also contains a lot of charm and humor. Always a pleasure, never a chore.
