Tremendously moving and beautiful
Tremendously moving and beautiful, and the best capturing of Laurie Anderson’s unique combination of off-beat humor, heartbreak, poetry music, images, animation, stories, Buddhist philosophy and artistic experimentation yet on film.In theory it’s the story of Anderson’s relationship with Lolabelle, her beloved terrier, as the dog moves through life towards aging and death. But it is also clearly thematically about her love for, and loss of her husband Lou Reed, and her pondering of her own mortality and the meaning of life.
Yet as dour and daunting as that sounds, Anderson never loses sight of the joy that abides with sorrow, knowing that there is no love without pain, and no pain without the seeds of joy.
And while it’s a heady mix, and resolutely refuses to act anything like a ‘normal’ movie, Anderson is also the most accessible of experimentalists. She has no interest in torturing or confounding her audience, just catching them off guard and getting them to think new ways – – but always with a smile, a wink and a chuckle at it all. She’s a tremendously important artist, and this film is great for fans and newcomers alike.
Poetic Art Musings
(Flash Review)This opens with a surreal dream story of a woman that had a living dog sewn into her stomach so she could give birth to it. Ummmm…..Wow! This is a personal film full of poetic stories of the artist’s life, existential musing, ponderings and remembrances who also is the narrator. A bulk of the time is given to her dog who lost its sight yet learned to play a keyboard, while fewer stories revolve around her family and childhood. Other stories drew a correlation from free and wide open lands with the security presence and data collection soon after 9/11. Possible indicating her personal fears and anxieties about the world today. While occasionally interesting, these stories were seeming randomly assembled while relating together in a conceptual manner; a manner in which requires thought and a second viewing to add clarity. It was different and sort of thought-provoking with the use of mixed media. Certainly not for everyone.
