Witch's Cradle-Maya Deren(1943)

Another vivid surrealist feature from underrated director Maya Deren, plot-light and heavily atmospheric....

Director Maya Deren, with nothing more than a cheap camera, the contents of somebody's attic and a little help from fellow Surrealist Marcel Duchamp, creates a brilliant quilt of creeping unease and fractured time...one almost feels that the characters themselves are aware they are trapped in the film and attempting to escape during the 12 minute runtime! The highly complementary soundtrack was added by husband Teiji Ito ...Sound, B&W.
