Title
Persecution in ParadiseDetails
1997 / 6:17 min
A grotesque and celebratory flat puppet animation escapade. In this treacherous two-dimensional trouble tale, crazed crabs, ferocious female wrestlers and snake pits are but a few of the obstacles faced by two musicians. Just when they reach their paradise inhabited by two jungle babes tempting them with exotic dancing they are ... well ... Persecuted in Paradise. An explosion of color and fun antics, with some bucking broncos, decapitation, and fingernail scratching thrown in for good measure. With an intricately beautiful, captivating, rockin' and abstract soundtrack by the stars of this film, Jason Willett and Jad Fair. Originally Super 8.
