Les Astronautes (1959).<\/em><\/p>\n

A nice collection of shorts by Walerian Borowczyk<\/a> (1923\u20132006) at Ubuweb including this animated piece from 1959 which was co-directed by Chris Marker<\/a>. The style is immediately reminiscent of that employed by Raoul Servais in Harpya<\/em><\/a> and other films; it’s also not far removed from Terry Gilliam’s animation but it predates both. Also of note is Une Collection Particuli\u00e8re<\/em> from 1973, a brief but fascinating look at a collection of antique pornographic toys and other adult items from the collection of Pieyre De Mandiargues. And L’Amour Monstre de tous les Temps<\/em> from 1977 is a portrait of contemporary erotic Surrealist painter Ljuba Popovic at work. Borowczyk spent the Seventies making soft porn features such as Immoral Tales<\/em><\/a> and The Beast<\/em><\/a>, so the subject matter of the later films isn’t so surprising.<\/p>\n
