When the Eye Quakes
Audience Score

11 min
It all started with the notorious Buñuelian sliced eyeball that surprises us every time The eye of an ox but still its the eye of a woman The anxiety of the incision is transformed into a saccadic uncontrolled anxiety precisely of the eye and of its pupil When subjected to the stroboscopic rhythms of single frame animationas in some archaic preanimationones gaze at it is thrown off going in search of a little dramatic action here and there in the face through the quick cinematic nonsense of saucers and sclera The eye of an ox which degenerates in Buñuels incision is my own quaking ox eye
