The Comb1990
THE COMB opens in the shadowy bedroom of a sleeping beauty and seems to enter her mind and burrow into her dreams. Based on a fragment of text by the Austrian writer Robert Walser, THE COMB is an exploration of the subconscious visualized as a labyrinthine playhouse haunted by a doll-like explorer. A mesmerizing and resonant blend of live action and animation, THE COMB is set to a sensuous score of violins, guitars and attic room cries and whispers, all bathed in a gorgeous golden glow.

Bizarrely Brilliant! Difficult to interpret without the synopsis... dream? delirium? illness? Still, visually stunning and captivating. Coarse and raw, yet there is an elegance in the movements.
