[MOVIE]
F.: Henri Plaat. Int.: Theo Jeuken, Mickey Mouse. Prod.: Henri Plaat. 16mm. D.: 4’. Col.
Decay becomes palpable at Père-Lachaise cemetery. A woman weeps at Frédéric Chopin’s grave, as if it was her own lover that she has just lost. Mickey Mouse explores an old black Ford and the surrounding garden and wobbling gelatine puddings are shown in all their splendour. Plaat focuses with nonchalant playfulness on death and impermanence and uses colour as a connecting element
