ROYAL PYTHONS
It’s a very text-intense film, since New York is a very advertising-intense city. Clarke’s shorts show an interest in using posters and billboards and ad imagery as montage elements, so it’s natural that this film’s action should take place against a backdrop of placards and signage. And some of the consumer dreams being pushed have a heart-breaking resonance with the impoverished lives going on in front of them.
