Two beautiful rarely seen films
"The Comb (From the Museums of Sleep)" is a 17 min short film by The Brothers Quay. It is loosely inspired by Robert Walser's Jakob von Gunten, and "draws on the reservoir of psychosis." A combination of live action, stop-motion, and animation, "The Comb" is divinely baffling and erotic."The Vertical Ray of the Sun is the second feature by French-Vietnamese director Tran Anh Hung, is a beautiful, languorous film. Three sisters in Hanoi reunite for the their mother's funeral, bringing their husbands and brother along. Drama happens, but it rests under such a deep-bedded sea of emotional contentment that it feels like everything will be all right, everyone will be fine. It is almost "background music for itself."
