IFFR 2024
Clouds white ablaze, a painting of a manor in a vast forest, finally a young man running and leaping in the streets. After these suggestions of paradise, tightly framed shots of houses old and new, garish sights of 70s pop fun include Raquel Welsh and some wrestling, suggesting how lost it is. Kai Oka in hindsight: "This was obviously the post-sixties confusion."
