Fans of animation, graphic novels and examinations into the darker aspects of the human psyche might want to keep an eye out for IFC Film’s latest pick-up. Flying low on the radar screen:Fear(s) of the Dark is a collection of black-and-white animated horror and fantasy shorts by six graphic
artists (Blutch, Charles Burns, Marie Caillou, Pierre Di Sciullo,
Lorenzo Mattotti and Richard McGuire) – and apparently the best of the collection is the Burns short that the NYTimes describes as “a science-fiction nightmare of erotic slavery, with elements of “Alien” and Kafka’s “Metamorphosis.”
Not sure when this will find itself in circulation, but it is preeming at the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema in NYC.
