Movie

9 ½ weeks in 8 mins

The two clips chosen are the theft of a necklace from a department store and a look at the erotic possibilities of ice cubes, but the burden of narrative passes to the music, a performance by Maria João & Grupo Cal Viva, which, like the visual images, repeats the same ideas with variation after variation, but builds to its own unnerving climax. The clips are re-worked into cinemascope format as a double screen that shows sometimes mirrored images and sometimes contrasting ones. Occasionally, they overflow onto the full screen.
