Kinkón

Kinkón 1971 a silent adaptation of Merian C Cooper and Ernest B Schoedsacks 1933 classic King Kong Zulueta refilmed a television broadcast of the original and through creative subtraction and manipulation of camera speed condensed the originals feature length to an intensified seven minutes The cathoderay flicker and flattening that results from the refilming defamiliarises the original but its classical continuity mode of address continues to operate on the viewer and the increase in velocity makes mesmerisingly urgent the dramatic plot of the original Senses of Cinema
