A short film done in the style of a german expressionist silent film. It is meant to illustrate Freud's theory of "the uncanny" which is based on ETA Hoffmann's short story "the Sandman". It is a work in progress.
The music is both from public domain recordings of classical music on wax cylinders and some of my own music.
Originally it was created as a portion of a documentary feature on sex dolls and the men who love them. It was created to set up a section on the idea of THE UNCANNY.
The final version of this is currently making festival rounds right now, including the Short Film Corner in Cannes, and the Nashville international Film Festival
basically it is the story of when a man loves an android

A very fine piece of work indeed, but you confuse Freud's theory of the uncanny with Jentsch's, which is the very one he rejects! Change those title cards!
Unfortunately you chose to focus on the obvious when interpreting Hoffmann's tale rather that the more interesting psychological thrill of the story. (Perhaps that was difficult to do in a silent movie.) Although the woman's part diagrams and the waggling tongue of the scientist seemed a bit juvenile.
German Expressionism, E.T.A. Hoffmann, Freud's Uncanny, a gynoid and great music... all themes that force me to be hopelessly in love with this short. Just brilliant. And thank goodness it means to be related to sex dolls issues... I paid so much attention to Dr Coppelius perverted tongue. Sexual innuendo means Im not completely mad yet. Yes, mine is the ultimate weird comment.
Man! This must have taken some work and imagination to get the feel for the film and it's presentation! It's a wonderful trip back in time. It makes me want to rewatch "The cabinet of Dr. Caligari"! Can't wait for a continuation of the work.
