BIRDS, ORPHANS, AND FOOLS
(Juro Jakubisco, France, 1971) (F)
Staircases that perhaps lead nowhere; wardrobes without backs; a clown that
may be real; and a doomed attempt to live a life of freedom in a world of insanity and war. A message in a bottle from a Czech director temporarily in France. [/quote]

"BIRDS, ORPHANS AND FOOLS"
("Ptackove, Sirotci A Blazni")
-Juro Jakubisko (1971)
This delirious tour de force of creative camera work and montage progresses through a mad universe of surrealist tableaux and bizarre actions, with every composition a poem in design and colour. Two fellows and a girl, war orphans and drop-outs from organized society, attempt to live a life of freedom and innocence in a world of insanity and war, in an enchantingly ramshackle house where cupboards hang from ceilings and birds, old men, and animals wander freely. But there is desperation barely below the surface of this metaphor of Consciousness Three, and innocence cannot subsist in our world. This unconventional fantasy blends dream and reality, tenderness and cruelty with a rather spectacular use of distortion lenses, agitated cameras, special tints, visual puns, and variable screen sizes. The production of such pessimistically libertarian parables by Eastern directors - in this case a Slovak temporarily working in France - is symptomatic. Jakubisco is now back in Slovakia.

And now the explanation, the quality of this is mighty fine as you can see, the dvd was out some time ago, BUT I got a copy from a guy that not copied the complete dvd, but only the film from dvd standalone player to recorder, The below part of the subs are slightly cut, nothing extraordinary, the subs are still very understandable. As you can see in the screen above, other then any other thing, the quality is fine
if you enjoyed Daisies by Vera Chytilová dont miss this one!!! quite similar
