Palmer

2023 · 3 min

A brief, clinical provocation that watches bodies and power from behind a wall, more conceptual exercise than story.

Genres
Documentary
Overview
The setting of the film was simple and straightforward: the now 77-year-old Friedl vom Gröller asks a (homosexual) escort to do a nude film session, has the man’s fine rib underpants pulled down by her younger accomplice, filmmaker Josephine Ahnelt – who, like a puppeteer, remains hidden behind a wooden wall – and exposes his member. (Dietmar Schwärzler)
