Synopsis
Kim Sun strikes again with his (experimental) tactics and strategies for movie wars; for political film that is, although just as mutantly close to Stan Brakhage as to Hanna-Barbera –the distance is the same for both: the length of a left arm. His weapon is a lethal yet playful police doll capable of burning up genitals and South Korea’s current politics with the same amount of Fahrenheit degrees. It’s a real doll who uses stop motion, a constant alteration of the celluloid, and animated collage to fight against rats worthy of a triple Z movie (i.e., the pornographically worst of all) and look like the offspring from an orgy between Ed Wood, Tom & Jerry, and Glauber Rocha. Sun is backed by savage theories eager to gnaw his country’s political fossils and a coarse cinema with no dialogs that turns anarchy into a state of grace. From that spot, he aims at the heart of two different enemies: his own government and that stodgy belief that experimental cinema is a stiff, empty, and lifeless territory.
