 GOLLIWOG'S
CAKE-WALK (Ghost
Limb Films) Approx. 100 min. NR, nudity. I’m all for abstract
filmmaking, but sometimes, I think I just don’t get it. There is so much
going on in this film, yet at the same time, there’s nothing going on.
There’s no dialogue in this movie, yet the audience is supposed to
understand the journey the main character in the film takes. I’m not
sure there was even a journey, let alone something that I was supposed to
understand and care about. The main character appears to lead a somewhat
unfulfilling life taking pictures of naked women, yet the audience is
never privy as to why he does what he does. We realize he misses a woman
in his life, but who is this mystery woman and why should we care about
her and their relationship in the end. Maybe I missed the point. Maybe I
just didn’t get it. I can’t really be sure what it was I saw but I
know I’m still confused. Oh well, maybe next time.- Liz Haebe
