My Grandmother (15*) Silent Film & Live Music
Stephen Horne and Meg Morley - Barbican, Cinema 1
Program Info: In this madcap Soviet-era satire a lazy bureaucrat is fired from his job and must find a ‘grandmother’ – slang for ‘benefactor’ – to help him back into work.
This one-of-a-kind oddity has all kinds of avant-garde experimentation on display: stop-motion and hand-drawn animation bits of puppetry, expressionist décor, distorting lenses, looming angles, freeze-frames.
And while the Harold Lloyd-esque pen-pusher may be the film’s protagonist, it is his assertive, wild-haired, wildly consumerist wife who steals the show.
