Study III

Running 5m and made in Sweden, Study III (1953) is a film in the 123movies catalog. The cast includes Gunilla Palmstierna-Weiss and Lennart Rudström; Peter Weiss directs. 2 votes put it at 8/10. In this preliminary study for Study IV “Liberation” a man hauls his alter ego through various spaces. The scene is reminiscent of Luis Buñuel’s “An Andalusian Dog”, where the man drags along a piano, two priests, and two dead donkeys. Weiss was not happy with this first, more personal version. He gave up the attempt to re-edit it.
