The Horse's Mouth & Daybreak Express

I don't know who said that The Horse's Mouth was a comedy, because it wasn't funny. It was, however, a bizarre tale of an artist who loves feet and painting walls. Strange film. Very strange.

Daybreak Express was also on the DVD, and was a neat little short by D.A. Pennebaker, with a pretty good song by Duke Ellington over shots of a train moving through New York. Nice camerawork, some pretty cool shots, and overall, a not bad way to spend your five or so minutes. The comments by Pennebaker about it were also sort of neat, because he said that he made a bit of money on it only when it was finally released for the opening of The Horse's Mouth. And that they played for a while to packed houses. I'm not sure what to think of people who would see The Horse's Mouth more than once. I really don't know.
