Storyline
Featured review
Unique covered in a movie.
This is an art movie, as such it attempts to create a dream scape sculpted of actual dreams. I saw this at a screening where Richard Myers presented it with some background about his process and the story of the original movie and how it affected him. It is based on the 1946 Republic serial Jungle Girl staring Frances Gifford. He filmed the theatre where he first saw it and was able to place original posters in the windows. The movie left me with many enduring images. It is a long swim through a rich subconscious. Throughout the movie there is a recurrent theme of an interview with the Frances Gifford the original Jungle Girl, while images are also projected in the foreground. Subtitles were often given multiple meanings through layers of images. The sound editing was also amazing as you followed little trails of sounds that kept the images alive. Like working with dreams where multiple associations will come up from dream symbols, this movie takes you on a trip through symbolic meanings, emotional textures, enigmatic encounters, resonant atmospheres, and sublime connections. It lets your mind create stories in a scattering. It has the best cinematic use of a railroad coil spring ever.
