Night of the Seal
NR 41 min
In La Nuit du Phoque The Night of the Seal they decided to try everything imaginable the 41 minutes are packed to the brim with wild and utterly incomprehensible visual and textual shifts including special effects graphic but sensual love scenes a hilarious Busby Berkeleystyle revolutionary ballet a superb avantgarde gay cabaret number sung by Philippe Danton imagine a cross between Rocky Horror and the Trout Mask era Magic Band and any number of absurd cameos I particularly like the surprise appearance of Sir Isaac Newton who scares the shit out of some kids playing in a local park As a period piece La Nuit du Phoque is unbeatable and it alone would make an impressive bonus
