(Flash Review)
This opens with a surreal dream story of a woman that had a living dog sewn into her stomach so she could give birth to it. Ummmm.....Wow! This is a personal film full of poetic stories of the artist's life, existential musing, ponderings and remembrances who also is the narrator. A bulk of the time is given to her dog who lost its sight yet learned to play a keyboard, while fewer stories revolve around her family and childhood. Other stories drew a correlation from free and wide open lands with the security presence and data collection soon after 9/11. Possible indicating her personal fears and anxieties about the world today. While occasionally interesting, these stories were seeming randomly assembled while relating together in a conceptual manner; a manner in which requires thought and a second viewing to add clarity. It was different and sort of thought-provoking with the use of mixed media. Certainly not for everyone.
