Worth Seeing

although I couldn't come up w/ as piquant a one-line summary as "vaginal bells," "worth seeing" is a fair appraisal.
Welles himself said this film was nothing more than a student movie, a lampooning of surrealist cinema; so take the short for what it is: interesting, and maybe hinting at cinematic things to come.
however, investing it w/ impenetrable, pseudo-freudian psychosexual crappola---as one reviewer does---is absurd. that kind of drivel simply gives film criticism a bad name.
"the explicit representation of all the destructive/ obstructive forces that would prevent the artist from his orgasmic vision."?
too bad there's no email icon for rolling your eyes.
