All seen on a wonderful DVD called The Cineseizure.<\/p>\n
Pi\u00e8ce touch\u00e9e (1989)<\/strong> – girl is reading, guy walks in the door, they kiss, he crosses behind her, she gets up. But for 15 minutes, painstakingly and obsessively re-enacted, rewound, stalled and repeated. Arnold mirrors the shot about halfway in, and flips it upside-down towards the end. An intriguing start. The main fault with this one is the annoying machine-loop audio.<\/p>\n Passage \u00c3\u00a0 l’acte (1993)<\/strong> – looks like a dinner scene from To Kill a Mockingbird<\/em>. Boy comes running in, tells girl to hurry up, “I’m trying to”, “come on”, they run out but she stops to kiss her dad first. But all one frame at a time, with the obsessive back-forth repetition. The sound from the movie is here, so this is much less annoying than Piece Touchee<\/em>… a large step towards the Andy Hardy movie, which, even had I not been told before I saw it, would recognize as the masterpiece of this bunch.<\/p>\n Extras: Psycho<\/em> trailer (just a shower head, no text, clever), Jesus Walking On Screen<\/em> trailer (“master, give me sight”), another trailer (in a train station), and a relatively serene montage of old clips called Der Osterreichfilm<\/em>.<\/p>\n
