Tarting Over

1981 · 3 min

A brief, deadpan curiosity: stiff men, cakes, and slow slapstick that feels more like a puzzle than a joke.

Directed by
Paul de Nooijer
Genres
Comedy
Overview
In a domestic setting, two men in suits with rather glassy and listless facial expressions sit at a table with two mocha cakes on it. A classic slapstick element in an experimental setting.
How it feels
Absurd, satirical, eerie and campy. Measured and needs your attention.
About
Identity, obsession, isolation
Content
Mild violence and gore. No sexual content or swearing.
