Scenes From Under Childhood Section #1

  • 25'
  • USA
  • 1967
A visualization of the inner world of foetal beginnings, the infant, the baby, the child. A shattering of the ‘myths of childhood’ through revelation of the extremes of violent terror and overwhelming joy of that world darkened to most adults by their sentimental remembering of it. A ‘tone poem’ for the eye. Very inspired by the music of Oliver Messiaen.
