Split Seconds Of Magnificence

1982, 11:00 minutes, colour

TAPECODE 9403

In settings reflecting both comic strip decors and primitive surroundings, time and space are wrenched from their original contexts, mimicking television's ability to let the viewer move from crime to passion, from the past to the future, in an instant. The production makes clear, using parody and drama, that adventure and power are not male privileges.
