D er Traum des Bildhauers (Áustria, 1907). Direção: Johann Schwarzer. Schwarzer, pioneiro do cinema erótico, tenta aqui brincar com a relação algo onírica que faz menção o título do artista e sua obra, desde o início representado por um trio feminino que se encontra nu e, a determinado momento, quando o artista dorme, sai de seu pedestal e se aproxima dele, uma delas lhe beijando. No estúdio do artista, construção cenográfica bastante marcada como então comum, não poderia faltar a estrela de oito pontos que é o logotipo do estúdio. Saturn Film. 4 minutos.

Q uem é a Bruxa? ( Which is Witch , EUA, 1949). Direção: Friz Freleng. Rot. Original: Tedd Pierce. Música: Carl W. Stalling. Montagem: Treg Brown. Pernalonga se depara na África com um médico-curandeiro pigmeu que o importuna em um primeiro momento e depois o leva para cozinhar. Ele consegue fugir e embarcar numa barcaça do estilo que navega pelos rios do delta do Mississipi. O pequenino, como o chama, nada até a barcaça, mas é engolido por um jacaré que se nega a devolvê-lo, sendo necessária a intervenção de Pernalonga. Produção rotineira e não das mais inspiradas do estúdio, com sua habitual dose de etnocentrismo como era habitual então, mas sem os excessos talvez de representações contemporâneas sobre a África dos estúdios Disney. Aqui, como em boa parte das animações da Looney Tunes , a tribo se torna, assim como duas “extras” que surgem, não mais que um pano de fundo para a ação centrada apenas na dupla principal. Pernalonga chega a enfiar uns pratos na boca e argolas no p

A Thousand Days for Mokhtar

Por -
Mokhtar lived in a room not far from his shop, overlooking the sea. There was a tiny window in the wall above his sleeping-mattress through which, if he stood in a tiptoe, he could see the waves pounding against the rocks of the breakwater far below. The sound came up, too, especially on nights when the Casbah was wrapped in rain and its narrow streets served only for the passage of unexpected gusts of wind. On these nights the sound of the waves was all around, even though he kept the window shut. Throughout the year there were many such nights,and it was precisely at such times that he didn´t feel like going home to be alone in his little room. He had been by himself ten years now, ever since his wife had died; his solitude never weighed on him when the weather was clear and the stars shone in the sky. But a rainy night put him in mind of the happy hours of his life, when in just such nocturnal wind and storm he and his great-eyed bride would pull the heavy blinds shut and live quiet
