Balançoires

Comedy

25m

A young couple go to the carnival. After some savage heavy petting they meet a sinister fakir who offers to sell them Truth for six sous. A set of uncanny events follow. At worst 'avant-gardist' in the extreme, at best the counterpart to Cur Fidèle's 'fête foraine' sequence after the abolition of melodrama. Excellent black screen cutting and chaotic camera shaking characterize the style.

PUNQ

Rated 05 Aug 2013

A elegant and sharply edited piece of work. Illustrates a day at the carnival flashing bare nipples making people know that the excitement of taking a carnival ride is sexual. Then after a lot of happy images everything changes and we come to the dark side. Drunks, gambling, demons and death as a couple is hypnotized and walk around as zombies. A truly odd and fascinating French art short!
