This is a very rare short, really really rare, my guess it's this isnt going to be a popular download, so i'll keep it in my share for a very long time, with this camed Flanagan which I can offer aswell from request, it's in dutch and carries no subs. This is a high quality rip as I usually do, not so high like a short i'm sharing in DV and will share here after these two releases with 6000kb/s bitrateZwartjes' films are haunting excursions into desperate universes of alienation, in which male and female, while extricably bound to each other, never "connect".Here an impassive Keaton-like male engages insupremely sexual, ominous food orgies with voluptuous, half- nude women whom he paws impotently. Texture of image, crass make-up, and selective lighting further emphasize the expressionist character of the film.

A major new talent in international avant-garde cinema, Zwartjes creates hermetic, obsessive, and "decadent" universes, in which desperate, dissociated males and females, though inextricably bound to each other, never "connect". Here an impassive, Keaton- like figure engages in a sexual, ominous food orgy with voluptuous, half-nude women whom he paws impotently. A mysterious, powerful tension informs the action. Despite non-communication and mutual defilement of the grossest kind, a profoundly humanist statement emerges; compassion for these victims, "partners" in loneliness. Expressionist style, make-up and lighting as well as complex montage heighten the effect of the tragic tableaux, in which tortured non-heroes operate impotently in hostile space, facing us blindly, nakedly, with all defenses down; compelling us, perhaps, to confront ourselves in like manner.
