Sploff Vision VII – 27-06-20


Hello.

I’m attempting another stream this Saturday. It’s a little longer than normal so the start time is 7pm

The pre-show warm up act is part one of Galactic Nightmare, a space opera that some say rivals Jeff Wayne’s War of the Worlds. The show proper is as follows:

A couple of animations – La Belle at la Boite, and Mirror Child. An instructional film for CABbers – having learnt already about making friends, and fitting in, here is Dating Do’s and Dont’s.

Our first film is by the the team that brought you A Matter of Life and Death. A Canterbury Tale is one of my fav ‘war films’ which may seem odd because another is The Hill. I find this to be a thoroughly pleasant film, especially where the American soldier is interacting with Kentish locals. Watch out for a cracking line about tea near the end.

This streams Sheppey piece is Wrecks Around Britain, featuring the SS Richard Montgomery, or as I like to call it – that Ship Shaped Sword of Damocles. A small segment from a Kurt Vonnegut lecture follows where he once again explains his Shapes of Stories idea.

The night’s second film is Requiem (german – subtitled). A college student with a strict religious background starts to suffer from seizures, and begins to suspect she may be possessed by daemons. Sandra Hüller gives an amazing performance as the central character.

Finally, for anyone still around there’s episode 3 of Welcome to the NHK.

Come join-eth me.
