Too awesome - funny and supremely disturbing at the same time. Love how he very calmly dealt with his lack of legs. The jerky motion called to mind old silent films. Cool on several levels
That shitty horror movie called "Jennifer" simply copy this short! Damn how much I hate it! I find this film very disturbing, full of atmosphere!! Very well done!!
Let me try a simple explanation with my poor English. Harpya symbolizes in ancient Greek mythology remorse. Which will "consume" you from the moment you start having it. You can only distract it temporally with what we call "entertainment" (divertissement) which here is symbolized here with music. You can only escape from it with death. Simple and maybe not correct but that's all I can come up with for this really smart short film.
Harpya is a 1979 short Belgian animated film written and directed by Raoul Servais. It stars Will Spoor, Fran Waller Zeper and Sjoert Schwibethus. The film won the Palme d'Or for Best Short Film at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.
That was excellent! The style, the expressions, everything was just great to watch. It was both very amusing and wonderfully artistic. Raoul must have been an odd man to come up with something so abstract. You can tell how much effort he put into every scene and every decision.
I man is walking around at night and sees I man choking a woman in a fountain, so he smacks him on the head and stops him. He sees the woman is topless, so he courteously turns away and offers his coat, only to find the the "woman" is actually a harpy, the mythical bird.
Finding it interesting (?) he brings it home to take care of it, but he finds that everytime he tries to eat, she attacks and takes his food. ...
He becomes so hungry that he tries to leave the house, but she attacks him and eats his legs. (Ick...) I'm not sure why she didn't totally eat him...maybe she wants his company? Anyhow, he distracts her with a record and leaves to get a snack, but as he eats it, she appears again and eats his food. Having had enough of this, he tries to choke her, only to be bonked on the head by the nightwatch, and so the cycle continues...
Its one of those story's that seem to make no sense but have a moral of the story. He found it being strangled by a man then saved it, then it kept eating his food then he strangled it then it got saved by some one else.
The director, Raoul Servais, has a biography on Wikipedia and this film Harpya is described in the Interactive Movie Database (IMDb). (Can't put links in comments).
Yeah, i managed to fight my curiosty and don't watch it :D Sure I won't be able to sleep because I won't know what's in this video, but that's better than being able to sleep and having nightmares :P
