| Sat Mar 1 at 9:30pm Co-dir. Richard McGuire in person! As seen most recently in Persepolis, animation has become an important part of contemporary French film and visual culture, as it has in so many countries. Six cutting edge comic book artists joined together to make this unnerving, provocative work, shot in shimmering black and white and filled with images and ideas guaranteed to make at least a few of your neck hairs stand on end. Rather than compiling six short films, FEAR(S) OF THE DARK allows each of its tales -- which range from sci-fi to horror to the fantastic -- to move in and out of the others in a dreamlike fashion. Direct from its world premiere at Sundance, FEAR(S) OF THE DARK is not for the squeamish, but not to be missed. NR, France, 78 minutes. In French with English subtitles A film by Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo, Lorenzo Mattotti & Richard McGuire |
