Stan Brakhage described his film as "a hand-painted visualization of sex in the mind's eye". My mind finds little that could be called erotic, but much that is visually sensuous. In part, that is due to his painting techniques here, as many of the individual images are strongly crackled or impastoed and apparently photographed still wet, so that the paint glistens in the changing light. Additionally, the rate of image change is much slower than usual with him. Rather than the expected 12-24 images per second, here we see 2 or 3 per second and have more time to enjoy the abstract shapes and the rotation of rich colors through the palette. Should some numerically-oriented person ever decide to count the total of individual paintings done by Brakhage in his hundreds of short films, I think we'll find that Picasso was not the most prolific painter of the 20th century after all. "Lovesong" forms a striking and satisfying conclusion to the "By Brakhage" collection.
An Artist violently grinds stones and uses the sand to create animated drawings. His first picture is the Garden of Eden. Once Eve becomes pregnant, all the tribulations of the real world are unleashed upon her. She follows through dream-like sequences populated with crying birds, brick-wall-faced bureaucrats and pensive philosophers in seemingly petrified poses. Irritated, repressed and allured by each other, the creatures on the screen start living a life of their own. Gradually, a dark climax builds up. Will the Artist himself be able to handle so much emotional intensity?
也许这部影片最值得关注的地方是你在别的地方根本看不到这样的动画。谁又会在石膏上画素描来做动画呢?这确实是一件很独特的作品。大部分场景的构图(layout)都很出色,但有一些不是那么好。很多背景都相当漂亮。但我得说这片缺乏故事情节。我知道这是根据《罪与罚》改编,但是片中故事似乎一直在往后拖。 陀思妥耶夫斯基(《罪与罚》作者)似乎也和苍蝇、钥匙孔、钟有点联系,你如果看过他的其他作品你就会注意到这一点。 总体来说,令人印象相当深刻。很遗憾他的作品如此难掌握。

An early pilot for The Cat With Hands that demonstrates the style of the film to financiers. Some consider it better than the final product.
Powerful and raw, ‘Crack, Brutal, Grief’ is an impressive extension of R. Bruce Elder’s obsessions with history, media culture, psychology, technology, and the cruelty found in nature. The film acts as a primal scream, literally and metaphorically. The point of departure for the film came shortly after the gruesome suicide of Elder’s close friend.

This is a very effective and compelling short that looks a perception, in this case perception through the eyes of children. Using very basic and deceptively simple hand-drawn animation (incorporating some very entertaining visual tricks along the way) this tells, in effect, two stories: the story the children see and the probable reality the audience may well ascertain from the same "facts". A bit like Rashomon, but with only one recounting onscreen. Deservedly won a BAFTA, if I recall correctly. Well worth tracking down. Most recommended.
