FLAMING EARS

Angela Hans Scheirl, Ursula Pürrer, and Dietmar Schipek - Austria, 1991, 84 mins

A vengeful comic book artist, a red rubber suit wearing alien and a pyromaniac performance artist play out a story of love and revenge in the lesbian populated future city of Ache. This violent and sexual anti-romantic tale takes cues from the early short films of Ursula Pürrer and Angela Hans Schier in its playfulness and provocation. Blown up from super-8, the grainy texture and saturated colours add to its DIY and experimental appeal and heighten the artificiality of this crumbling fantasy world.

"Imagine the film that J.G. Ballard might have made if he'd been born an Austrian dyke." B. Ruby Rich San Francisco Weekly
