8/10
Crossing paths.

After seeing the excellent Un chien andalou (1929-also reviewed) I decided to look for another short film to pair it up with. Checking shorts waiting to get watched, I found a Soviet Sci-Fi flick, which led to me stepping onto the path.

View on the film:

Going down a path to return to the spaceship, director Vladimir Tarasov crosses the galaxy with a trip into the gloriously psychedelic,via splinters of multi- coloured light darting over the hand-drawn animation.

Starting up the spaceship to scrambled Johann Sebastian Bach compositions, the narration from Alexander Kaidonovsky travels over Tarasov's beautiful, pulpy colours that spin Freudian symbolism with a lush of kaleidoscope layout across the path.
