Here is a bright, bold and colourful film about a dark, confusing and sinister event. A group of children are drawn to the strange house of an outcast.
Jonathan Hodgson’s film of Charles Bukowski’s poem is a beguiling visual mix of abstraction, pattern, and typography, always in motion. It takes us deep into the confusion and fear of childhood and the powerful significance of small things. The paint and hand drawn style is simple and powerful. It’s real visual storytelling at its best and satisfyingly compliments Bukowski’s lyrical poem, which tells how innocent games can share a border with the forbidden territory of violence and the unexplained and cause a terrible realisation about life to come into focus. A powerful and beautiful film.
