This is a short film I found on Showstudio.com in their current project 'The Fashion Body' - entitled 'Mouth' and is focussed on, perhaps decipherably, the mouth, lips and the confusion and sexuality they can provoke. I'm quite besotted with it - every shot has something edgy or different to it, and the mash of close ups of lips and layering of speech and sound was exactly how I'd envisioned our Lolita trailer. As my friend said when she watched it, it's almost like slipping in and out of consciousness - the way the sound dips in and out and echoes and layers - and combined with the jumpy, snappy editing and caledioscope camera flares (some shots look like they've been filmed off mirrors or through water), it's almost like how I'd envisage some sort of LCD trip. There's definately something psychological about it - the section in the middle when the voices are reduced to a whisper and she seems to gasping for breath is quite intense, but oddly throughout that comforting sound of a human voice doesn't seem to make it overly disconcerting.
