Reminds me of SALVADOR DALI. I liked it, although I didnt get the relevance of the letter people being in love, and then the "Villain" ? On the whole i liked it, but if sum1 could explain, that'd b great
@nunovurbisnes it was produced for the nfb I think, it was an advertisement informing audiences of the price increase of postage at the time. McLaren was interested in Surrealist art and made his career with experimental cinema which relied on painting, etching or penning directly onto the film
Amazing film. The title sequence looks like it was inspired by Dali. Was it just me or is it supposed to look like the 2 'letters' are having sex in 1 sequence?
@rosieh101 it wasn't originally released because of the perception that it was to sexually deviant. Also he was inspired by surrealism which is the same art that Dali created.

Starts out Dali turns Magritte and ends up Klee - amazing! Though the imagery is a bit single entendre at the end!
