Alone. Life wastes Andy Hardy

Alone. Life Wastes Andy Hardy
by Martin Arnold
Country: Austria
Year: 1998
Duration: 15


The family scene, which in the original last only seconds ans are not particularly notable, are surgically sectioned into single frames. Using repetition of these single cells and a new rhythm - a kind of cloning procedure - Arnold creates a monstrous doppelganger of the original cuts lasting many minutes, in which the hidden message of sex and violence is turned out to the point where it crackles. In Alone the crossing of harmless teenager films gives birth to an Oedipal drama in which mother love mutates to sheer lust.
