 | MOVIE #1,035 •🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿• 06.26.23 The movie that dares to ask, what if humans grew from the ground like trees and barked like demented seals? At over a half hour this is longest standalone short by a wide margin. It employs similar tactics as The Alphabet (a mix of weirdo live action and kooky living page) but with enhanced sound editing (his first collab with the great sound designer Alan Splet) and a more in-depth narrative: a young boy wets the bed and his dad freaks out, slamming him into the wet spot. The mother’s not much better, weirdly over affectionate and so naturally this piss kid grows a grandmother from some magical seeds on his bed. But the trouble persists so he becomes part of the Lynchian cut-out art world and murders them… |
Then he briefly makes out with plant Grandma before the whole thing descends into some final chaos. This honestly might be the weirdest thing he’s ever made and that’s saying something!
