The Extraordinary Child (5.9)

Film · 1954 · 13 min · Commedia

The Extraordinary Child applies his developing style to broad slapstick. His friends from the previous films and the director himself play out a riotous farce about an overgrown baby who steals his father’s cigars. Everyone mugs hilariously. The movie could be taken as another example of the Romantic notion of the artist as a monstrous child or misfit, or a parody of the same rather than the personal confessional statement seen so often in these film movements.

Regia: Stan Brakhage

Con Robert Benson, Stan Brakhage, Yvonne Fair, Lawrence Jordan, Walter Newcomb
