Suddenly, a man dies at the controls of a train!
Suddenly, a car swerves to destruction!

The Cosmic Man
I often think of myself as this Cosmic Man.
The Fabulous World of Jules Verne: 1958 Film by Karel Zeman
Czechoslovakian animator Karel Zeman made The Fabulous World of Jules Verne in 1958 and it is, without exception, the finest example of Verne on film that I have ever seen. It is an adaptation of Verne’s novel, Facing the Flag. The combination of live action and Mysti-Mation (sets and animation painted to look like illustrations) not only evokes the atmosphere of old book illustrations, but it evokes the visual act of imagination that happens when I read a Jules Verne book. This film is perfection. I’m somewhat distrustful of the ‘steampunk’ movement but I would certainly imagine that this film must be one of its holy grail objects of worship. It should be for sure. Disney could never come close to this, then or now, because they are focused solely upon happiness.

Sister by Sue De Beer
I found this film by Sue De Beer over at the Aksionsart film collection on MUBI.com. I like the light and the colors of the film. The girl in the room creates a space of color that becomes a whole world.
