Human Alchemy

Here's a delicious little film I stumbled upon not long ago, which goes by the name of Grace. It was directed by Lorelei Pepi (who according to her credits had some sort of hand in the '99 South Park feature film, among numerous other things).

Grace is a nightmarishly beautiful metaphor of transformation. Amateur reviewers at Atom Films mention David Lynch, Tool videos, & Jan Svankmajer frequently when grasping for comparisons.
(Who are some of these nitwits, with their "it can't be a film, it doesn't even have a conventional storyline" mentality? What, no dialogue? No car chases? Absurd!)

Word on the street is that Ms Pepi is currently putting together a satire of Max Fleischer-style cartoons, to be named Happy and Gay, which looks to be a crafty full-thruster guerrilla attack on various hypocrisies in our society. The soundtrack is certainly destined to swing mightily, with contributions from macabre merchants Leah Callahan & The Beat Circus.



Looking forward to its mischievous birth. A splendid time is guaranteed for all.
