One of my favorite parts of this film was when that dumbass kept banging the box after the kid told him it was a trap and the box ends up pwning him, lol!!!

@aramanth Okay, I will check them out. Expressionism is not one of my areas of knowledge, so it should be interesting.

[aramanth]

@dharmaseed Oh yeah... I should have mentioned that Topor's artwork ranges from the obscure to the grotesquely sexual in nature. Still a brilliant original artist. If you like him you might check some of the German Expressionists from the early 1900s like Egon Schiele and George Grosz, their work is a bit grizzly too.

@aramanth Thanks for the info, I checked it out, there were a bunch of image results. Fairly insane stuff. Surreal and sexual at the same time.

@dharmaseed Roland Topor did have a detailed website long ago, in French. But that site has long been taken down. You might search him on google.fr (french google).

The site with the info I saw long ago was a fan site, where the information came from I have no clue. Wikipedia has very little on Topor's life other than this film and his book the Tenant.

[dharmaseed]

@aramanth Hmm, interesting. Might he by any chance have a website?

[aramanth]

@dharmaseed It's not mentioned in the book, in fact not much fauna is discussed at all just a few. I think it's one of Topor's continuous allegory of the large engulfing the small. In fact the vision of the Draag men, the bizarre flora and fauna and even the female Om that Terr falls in love with are not in the book! Just fruits form the incredible brilliant mind of Roland Topor! The book is still a good read, english translation isn't bad reads like a junior high sci-fi novel.

@aramanth Do you remember what the deal was with that crazy bipedal cow-dog-snail thing that eats the tiny bird?

[aramanth]

@Kemonokami The site is gone and it was in French. I also remember the Weavers. It told of the Weavers who covered Ter in moist kisses as they wove his clothing. lol again if it isn't brutal, it's sexual!! I would try doing a search for La Planete Sauvage and Blop Blop if that helps.

@aramanth

Which site is that? I must know!

The "goaway" sound you hear is from an actual bird that lives in Africa and Australia.
