Blind Minor

|
NOTES |
A satire on
early German silent films of the ilk of The Cabinet |
|
of Dr.
Caligari, and shot in their style. This style includes titles |
|
explaining
what's happening, grainy, scratchy film, and 'hand |
|
The action
takes place appropriately in a remote village in |
|
unspecified
Alps where the population live in constant fear of |
|
avalanches.
So much so they speak in whispers and their |
|
animals are
silenced (imagine how). As happens in these |
|
rural
backwaters a son lusts after his mother, a daughter after |
|
her father,
and the father after his other daughter. |
|
There is
much comedy in bad taste and this film will appeal |
|
more perhaps
to film aficionados. |
|
Grotesquely
an older brother is locked in an attic where he is |
|
covered in
cobwebs. Here he has visits from the ghost of his |
|
blind father
who tells him of dreadful things to come. But |
|
because this
brother is speaking impaired and considered |
|
mad nobody
he warns believes him. |
