Nightmare Material

Chris Landreth's animated short movies are the perfect nightmare material if you watch them late at night as I did. "The Spine" followed a movie about frustrated 32 year old provincial austrian women (Barbara Albert's "Fallen", recommended by Blica) on Arte. Still, they are beautiful in their weirdness and though I could not stand to watch all the scenes (especially the beginning, where the parted man fights his own hand, or green hair proliferates out of the capped head and fingers of another), I could not stop either. Watch it on Arte Plus 7 until next Wednesday.
