Hvor ligger Painful City?

1995 · 7 min

A short, playful burst of escalating absurdity as a chatty stranger turns a quiet library into a chaotic, one-sided performance.

Overview
In the reading room of the library everything is peaceful and quiet. Until a happy young man comes in. He has had a great experience in the cinema, and he insists on telling the plot of the western he has seen in every hard-hitting detail to a visitor who becomes unintentionally one of the actors of the film.
How it feels
Absurd, light, satirical and tense. Brisk and easy to follow.
