Dimensions of a Dialogue
Last night I was listening to an episode of The Twilight Zone radio series called "Long Live Walter Jamieson", in which a history professor turns out to have lived since Ancient Greece due to a spell that has stopped the ageing process. It wasn't bad but not really one of the best. I also watched a few of the Jan Svankmajer short films that I got on Wednesday. One of them, Don Juan was an adaptation of an old Czech puppet play and featured the story of Don Juan, who murdered his father, his girlfriend's father and his brother before taking to the woods to live as a robber, being performed by giant puppets in and around a crumbling old house. Another one, Dimensions of a Dialogue, which was named by Terry Gilliam as the best animated film ever made, and featured two heads made of fruit and ordinary household and office items eating each other several times, before male and female clay figures kiss and merge into a clay mass, and finally two clay heads have various household objects such as a shoe, shoelaces, a toothbrush, a tube of toothpaste, a pencil and a pencil sharpener coming out of their mouths. It was really weird!
Today was yet another dull day at work. I was very happy to get home.
