Movie Picture

The Lead Shoes 1949 (5.1)

In "The Lead Shoes", we can neither thrust in our eyes nor our ears to help us understand how time flows or how space is. Therefore, Peterson forces us to take both space and time as relative experiences. The consistent disorientation in the film and our consistent inability to perceive them in absolute terms become the main subject of the film. Peterson makes us aware that space and time are more complicated than we think they are and they should be experienced in a more open-minded way. —Yoel Meranda


Movie Picture

The Petrified Dog 1949 (5.3)

Chases within chases. A mother runs after a child. A man seems to be pursuing himself. A woman who has been nibbling her lipstick through half of the film is pursued by a man. Scrambled Alice in Wonderland with brutiste soundtrack. The pursuit of art is represented by a painter daubing at a landscape in an empty frame.


Movie Picture

The Potted Psalm 1946 (5.1)

A soundless mix of story fragments and images. Initially, images of death, a man with a guitar, a soirée. Some images are surreal: an older woman eats a leaf; a headless man pours a cocktail into his body.
