A tiny bit long but very creative and funny and the music brings it up to another level.

A Nise da Silveira cita esse curta em Imagens do Inconsciente, a bem da verdade me identifiquei demais com a cadeira. Rá!

isn't it amazing how such a simple idea translates into such cinematic magic?

Think about Ash messing with his hand and house tools in Evil Dead II. Slapstick humor doesn't cut it for me, use of music turns it around in second half.

Fun, though it goes on a bit too long and is a bit too silly for my tastes.

Goes on a bit long, but McLaren gives life to a ordinary, plain looking chair. Really wasn't expecting a Shankar soundtrack either.

A funny little piece about a chair that refuses to be sat upon. There's a playful spirit at work here (right down to the multi-lingual credits and the jaunty Ravi Shankar music) that makes it feel like a live-action cartoon. Very well choreographed. However, there is a certain length of time that it's fun to watch a guy mess around with a chair, and that time is slightly shorter than this film's 10 minutes.
