  7/64: Leda and the Swan 1964

  ★★★½ Watched 18 Apr 2024

  i actually liked this better than 6/64

  perhaps for these reasons?
  no ambiguous dualism of imagery (soil v shit, rose v the obscene whole)
  lighting was darker, so again unlike the 6/64 which had brighter lighting, there wasn't this uncomfortable ambiguity (these scenes should stay in the dark etc.)

  other insights
  he loves eggs
  wet bird feathers seem grosser to me than liquids that look like blood

  6/64: Mom and Dad (An Otto Mühl Happening) 1964

  ★★★ Watched 18 Apr 2024

  i dont even know how to rate this

  is it transgressive? hell yes. gore (not real more just RED), dirt (that looks like literally shit b/c of its placement), eggs, and a bunch of other viscous fluids splattering on the nude body.

  but its not purely disgust, the sole flower, a rose I believe, takes it from being just obscenity to something more artful, but idk.

  kren seems to have that "sex scene from story of the eye" thing nailed tho.

  Happy Days 2000

  There is something about mindless chatter against a barren landscape that brings me a certain kind of joy, of course, Rosaleen's performance is responsible for much of that. Many mercies, many mercies...
