Viewed at Night Visions, Kinopalatsi 1, Helsinki, 14 Nov 2024
A short film by Malakias was shown before Telepathic Letters.
Malakias is one of the most original talents in Finnish animation.
Grapes of Wrath belongs to the legacy of Archimboldo, Svankmajer and the Quay Brothers.
It is a film-in-a-film about sex and war between fruit and vegetables. In its animated way it is an explicit hardcore and splatter movie. Getting physical and visceral is the point. "Lihaa säästämättä".
During the end credits there is a montage of ladies enjoying fruit and berries, mostly from French art movies.
There is a strong Expressionistic approach in the visages of the movie audience, vicariously enjoying the gory & sexy goings-on.
