Quote:
Described as one of the first acid-causalities in history, David Larcher’s Mare’s Tail is an epic 160-minute journey into the iconoclast’s mind, where connections between images defy logic but construct a languages of their own. Larcher once described the film as, “a photographer’s home movie put through a washing machine,” which I suppose only adds more confusion to the already complex presentation of abstract images. The film is a ride into Larcher’s subconscious, or more accurately, Larcher’s attempt at re-presenting the cacophony of imagery and sounds from his brain into some sort of coherence; we quickly figure that narrative is the least of the director’s interests. Part-travelogue and part-experiment, Larcher and his family went on the road across continents for years, processing the reels as they went along in the back of their van. We are invited to join his playful experiments with the nature of film as a medium, a chemical concoction that occasionally offers glimpses of truth.
Quote:
“Mare’s Tail is an epic film flight into an inner space. It is a 2-1/2 hour visual accumulation; it is the filmmaker’s personal odyssey, the odyssey of each of us. The lines move into shapes which move into orbits and your eyes water into colors. The film becomes one of the most vital penetrations into the experience of seeing.” – Stephen Dwoskin
