Short film

1953 · 5 min
A cryptic, dreamlike fragment that feels like a half-remembered nightmare, more interesting as an experiment than as a story.
- Directed by
- Peter Weiss
- Overview
- In this preliminary study for Study IV “Liberation” a man hauls his alter ego through various spaces. The scene is reminiscent of Luis Buñuel’s “An Andalusian Dog”, where the man drags along a piano, two priests, and two dead donkeys. Weiss was not happy with this first, more personal version. He gave up the attempt to re-edit it.
