Les Misérables

1987 · 2 min

A playful, cheeky animated short that feels like a quick, curious provocation about bodies and desire.

Directed by
Mara Mattuschka
Overview
In this film, Mattuschka works exclusively with animation. The cheerful cartoon characters Mimi and Max have a bit of a childlike-bisexuality to them, even when the subject seems to be the desire for and the differences from the other sex: "Look at what I´ve got here," says Mimi when she lifts up her skirt, the reply she gets being, "Is that real...?".
